I jumped ship to Nikon when it was taking Minolta so long to introduce a DSLR. I still have my D70, but it rarely gets used now. I gave my 7i to my brother several years ago. He still has it, but doesn't use it much any more. I'd like to buy the new D300, but the D200 is such a great camera, I don't really "need" it. Like that really makes any difference! Of course, with this economy...
