Not me, I would sell ALL my cameras and gear if I had to, to keep my HDTV home theater up and running. Thats how much it means to me. Photography is fun and enjoyable but not anywhere near as much time is spent on it as HDTV is for me. To each his own. I spend about 3-4 hours a day with my home theater, hardly even remotely close to that using cameras or taking photos. jco
