I'm willing to accept "good enough". Am on my 3rd used Canon DSLR body, always buying a generation or two behind (D60 when 10D came out, etc.) I'd still be using the D60 except I have enjoyed handing down these bodies to my kids. Same with the Leica M's - when I bought M6 classic the M7 was out. Rob
