So true, well kinda anyway -- did I really say always ;-).
I certainly held out against digital for as long as I could. Finally caved in to the D3 a bit over 20 months ago and only shot about five rolls of film last year...

I've also said I had little interest in shooting vid. Still don't. But my own D3s is on order and should be here next week, so we'll see...

I'm really blown away how fast things have been changing lately. In particular some for the new lenses are amazing. I swore by my prime tele lenses until recently they brought out a new 70-200mm, so that's just replaced three prime lenses in my bag... Soon a new 2x tele-converter will be out so I *expect* soon I'll be able to *easily* pack glass that'll give me up to 400mm and still be super sharp. A few years ago that was a dream.
