I have 2 current cameras, only one a DSLR. It was new in 2004 and I am still using it. Just hiked up to the Pulpit Rock near Stavanger (Norway) with it and a 24-70 and 70-200 and it performed flawlessly, in the rain and sun. It's an EOS 1D mark II. That's four years old, 8MP and a sensor with a 1.3 crop and still on the front line. The other camera is a rangefinder, Epson R-D1 and although I love it very much, I could do with a faster buffer and the battery life is worse than abysmal. If they brought out an R-D2 I would buy it and eBay the R-D1 (as long as it was identical in every other way). I'm a happy camper - no plans to change or upgrade. Not for a few years yet. When I do it will be for a full frame version of the 1D, in whatever incarnation.
