PhotoPoint has got the Pentax K20D in stock. Damn them! It's soooooo very tempting... a good thing, probably, that the 15,000 kr / 1000 € for the body is a little bit less tempting. *hopes either for a price reduction in the not too far future or for the temptation to pass*

Still, 'tis a thing of beauty... *sighs and tries to remember she still "needs" a macro lens and possibly the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens and possibly an external flash before even thinking about a new body*

Back at work since yesterday. Still coughing, but it seems to be mostly limited to the evening - had just one bad coughing fit at work, right before leaving. Feeling remarkably fine otherwise, I think the rest did me good. Besides, we finally have some snow again - snow and daylight! It was still light when I got home yesterday, around 6 pm. Wonderful. And at -1°C (and with practically no wind) it was really pleasant.

Yeah... fortunately with DSLRs, they tend to have a couple of price reductions every few months or half a year, as the lifecycle is a bit longer than with pocket cameras - new models every 18-24 months instead of every six months or so.

I wish I remembered what the predecessor to the K20D cost when it first came out. Around the same, I think, and it's some 30% cheaper now.

There is always the temptation of newer ones! I think it'll largely depend on just how much mum is going to want a DSLR of her own.

The coughing has been kind to me at night. No problems with that at all.

I could send you a small box of snow but I fear it might melt on the way.
