They'll just announce it, sell a first few from early production then, just like the D200, everybody waits, and waits.
I like Rockwell's advice on dealing with obsolescence so I'll take it. I'll use what I have and have good fun. Perhaps the way to go is to buy 2nd hand. I wonder what a D200 will fetch on ebay in a year or so.....

  I bought the Pentax last night. At $428 after rebate (for the kit) it seemed like a no brainer. Given that I allready have some Pentax 28 and 50mm lenses, I think it was a double no brainer. I figure that I will be using mostly raw format, so I went ahead and got a copy of the Adobe Lightroom beta, definately worth checking out. I will report back after I put in a couple weeks with the camera.

    Before buying anything, check out Capture One software. So far it's the best Raw software I have used. They have a free demo, so there's nothing to lose.

    Great. Have fun with that, then post some photos.
    I've been looking at the Lightroom beta over at Adobe. The beta requires XP SP2 minimum. I'm still using Win 2K. Hmmm. All this constant need for upgrades.

      well worth it. I took the plunge and finally bought a computer last Fall. Work has always provided a laptop, but I wanted something outside the scope of the IT/ security folks. After some reseqarch I bought the 12" PowerBook 1.5GHz, well worth the investment. I carry this thing everywhere, and it is finally exactly what I expect out of a *personal computer*. I had never been an Aplle guy (I ran Amigas during the first Apple craze), but the small Sony VIAO's were way too much. Needless to say that Lightroom runs just fine.
      I will pst some stuff (or links to stuff in the next few days). I am mostly taking some test shots to determine which of my old lenses still suit my needs and to figure out how to use Lightroom. I have actually not found as much use for the kit lense as I thought I would...
