I've just decided that it's not time to look for a new camera, yet... as one of the cameras I've been looking at is priced in the neighborhood of $3300... but still, it's a damn fine camera... learned that the one I was originally out to look at was discontinued... the successor is a little more expensive... if I wait a year or two, I can get such a camera for a far lower price... and my current camera is sufficient for my usage.
