I used to have one, until it broke.
I've been contacted by certain other camera manufacturers and we decided
to make 35mm cameras more attractive to rich young men by introducing
the icon
assle to be fun. Come this time next year, I may feel
differently.

A passive cap, resistor, etc. is not what I was writing about.

I don't think you can fairly say that there will be a D120, D200, and so on.

DSLR's are not computers. Now that they've reached 6mp sensors, improvements
will be incremental (to double the resolution you need 4 times the pixel
count). 6mp also starts getting you close to the point of deminishing
return. Most folks using 6mp DSLRs think that they're good enough to stop
usin
I agree, however your investment will depreciate rapidly as newer more
capable and or feature enhanced models
are released, unlike well thought out well built traditional cameras which
can actually appreciate in value.
Which was the argument that began this thread, I think.

I think DSLR's will be like laptop computers.
For years, the minimum price point for a Laptop was US$2000.
You didn't find one any cheaper because the Manufacturers determined that there was a
market for them at $2-$5,000 and saw no need to lower price.
Now that everybody who wants a laptop (
