I still use my Fuji Finepix S2 Pro (circa 2003) 6mp camera, and my "old" by today's standard Nikon D300 purchased new in February 2008 and now having processed it's 69,000 image. The Finepix has about double that amount. Both share the same lenses and even with the fuji I can still make enlargements on a regular basis up to over 30" x 20". I love technology, but only, and only if it will make my life easier. OH. and as far as camera gear?

No windows for me. Blows big chunks and I don't care how much they think they've improved it. As an IT Manager a a mixed PC/Mac environment I see the huge difference in productivity every day between the windows folks, and the Mac folks. --- even after the Mac people take time to laugh at the PC users they still get more done, more reliably. Also, at home, and corporate there is NO NEED to run out and get the latest and the greatest. As I tell my staff: Pioneers take all the arrows, and the pain. Hold off a bit before we upgrade. After thirteen years at my company, that has worked out tremendously well even when my designers are clamoring for this or that they just read about. LOL I have five Macs at home. Soon to be a sixth with the 27" iMac that was just released. Mac user here. No windows for me. Blows big chunks and I don’t care how much they think they’ve improved it.
