I imagine I may very well go fully over to the digi side when two things are true: (1) I discover a digi camera that I like to carry and use as much as my Leica Ms and (2) I can afford the initial $$ outlay. From what I've read, the former may already be true (or at least getting close) with the Pentax *ist-DS sounding particularly nice, but it is a moot point as the latter is far from true. And I'm not willing to trade my Leicas in. I plan to reevaluate from time to time. In the meantime, I'm enjoying my current half-and-half situation.
