Funny.. reminds me of the same problem that a lot of people used to have when purchasing computers a few years back. I remember a PII 400 coming out and a buddy of mine ordered hers from Dell. She hadn't even recieved the PC yet and already Dell had come out with the next model up about a month

To make another comparison to the PC industry - who nowadays really NEEDS a PIV 2.4 GHZ system?(i.e. which software apart from games require you to have that fast a CPU?) - the same thing will happen with digital SLRs - there will be a breaking point at which having more megapixels will not

I have given your post some serious thought, and find I agree with you, I should buy now. Please send me $10,000 so I can buy a EOS-1Ds with lenses and microdrives + PS 7.0. And thank you for making me realize that I can use your money to do this with. Ciao, Graywolf

I think the big difference between computers and digital cameras is that running newer software requires more memory and faster CPU's. With a digital camera there is no new software problem. I agree that most people don't need the absolute fastest machine available. I'm planning on replacing my 4

I would like to see a bit more support for higher bit depth as well as more cameras writing at 16 bits bit depth. Other then that, 5-6 MP for a PS replacement camera would be fine IMHO. You mean 16-bits per color (ie 48 bit TIFF-like) or some sort of extended range jpg?
