Well, it's summer doldrums down here but I get your point.... I think that DSLR development has reached the point where incremental gains in performance are relatively small, so upgrading becomes a matter of trying to justify the expense when the current camera is 'good enough'. I my case, the K200D does pretty much everything I want, so I probably wont upgrade until a camera comes along with similar features but with a better high ISO performance and a sensor with a few more MP of resolution. (Oh, wait. Isn't that the K-x?....)
