Just the other day I said to my lovely wife, "You know, I really should get a DMR and maybe an M8. It'd be so much fun and I'd take much more spontaneous pictures, not worried about the per-shot cost anymore." But, then I wouldn't have slides!!! And be buggered if I'll spend thousands to get a beamer that can match my RTm. And I'd have to upgrade my computer, get a bigger-better screen, storage, software, etc, etc. It would never end! My house is cluttered up with dead and dying computer gear already, but all of my film cameras work perfectly (well...). Hmmm? :-| Sticking with film is pretty easy to do. Ya just gotta pretend digital didn't happen. :-) When my soccer kids ask to see the back of the camera I say just loud enough for the parents to hear, "There's no screen to look at kids coz this is one of the new cameras, called a film camera. Leaves digital for dead." Many of them say "Yeah, you're right about that." Charlie Brown would just say, "AAAAAARRRGGGHHH!!!!" > Guys I figure sooner than later you'll get an M8,period! Never mind > all the wet butt reasons you pull out of the hat!
