Sure the (lack of) improvement in AF worries me more than the blobs thing.
Contrary to Paul, I don't make money out of my camera so I can (should) wait
with no problem at all.
However, this time I guess I'll try to make more tests and compare against my
K20D beforehand, in order to see if the investment is really worth it.
