dSLR
I will not buy a digital camera for myself until it's a dSLR, compatible with my Canon lenses, capable of producing a film-indistinguishable 8x10, able to hold at least 100 such photos without storage emptying, and able to take at least 3 photos per second. My wishes may soon be answered. Of course, I'm cheap, so they're going to need to get below $700, too.
Subtlety is not one of my strengths
