Here I sit, snow raging outside and birds flocking to my upper deck feeders.everyone from starlings to finches to titmice to four pairs of cardinals to a sharpie have landed up there this morning. Ive been snapping away with my SLR and long lens..each picture better (I hope) than the previous. My SLRS (yes I have four camera bodies) are all film. My digital is a very goos 5 mp point and shoot with just a 3x optical zoom..great for keeping in my purse and for digiscoping. Alas didscoping won't do me any good at this range..all the feeders are within twelve feet of where I'm sitting. I'm beginning to think that it's time to invest in a DSLR to fit my lenses. Instant gratification here I come. as soon as i save up $1000. LOL

| I also had 4 film slrs. I traded one slr body with motor drive and an old range finder camera in on a digital slr. You might consider doing this to bring you closer to your digital dream. |

Hi..actually when the time comes I'll be buying a pentax DSLR. I have way too much invested in pentax glass to switch systems. Someday will proably be here sooner than I think. I'll just have to be patient.

| Having bought my first Pentax over 40 years ago, and it still works great, I also had a lot of Pentax glass. I have had my Pentax ist*D for a year now and have not shot any film since I bought it. It works fine with all my old lenses. The new ist*Ds also would work fine with all your old lenses. |

That's exactly why I'm sticking with pentax..unfortunatly both the ist*D and the newer ist*DS each have features that I want making it hard to choose between them. maybe by the time I have the money saved there will be another one out. What I really want is the PZ1p in digital.
