"Waiting for something better" is your spin on what I asked, Paul. Maybe my question wasn't well phrased ;-)) I just wanted to know when the big shows and possible intro dates for new cameras might be. If there will be a successor to the DS2, then perhaps waiting a bit for DS2 prices to drop might make sense. Since, as G mentioned, a big show is in February, and my plans are to buy a DS2 in January, waiting a couple-three weeks might save me a few $$$.
