I'm not going to get worked up. Yes, it would be nice to have a new DSLR to bring to GFM, my niece's wedding, and our planned European trip (all late May and June), but my film cameras are doing very nicely. I have 10 lenses, at last count, and 3 bodies, and I'd much rather wait another 6 months than change brands.
I =still= do wish that Pentax would hurry the hell up, though.
