I currently have a Contax RTS II and Aria with Zeiss 28-70, 50 f1.4, 21 f2.8 and 80-200 f4 MM lenses. I bought a Lumix something a year ago, just because it was cheap and had a Leica lens, plus I had been hearing some good things about them, and it gave me a chance to play around with digital. I use the Lumix just for fun point and shoot stuff, instant results with friends etc. If I travel I take the Contax Kit.
I am contantly looking for a digital SLR option, but I haven`t found anything yet which I think is perfect for my needs.
With film cameras, the tendancy is to keep them (the bodies) for years, the image quality (the most important thing...right?) is in the lens and film combination. I am concerned about the longevity of digital SLR bodies. Development is still very fast, with important elements improving with each generation. These improvements are often in areas which effect image quality directly. I constantly read reviews about superb cameras which are let down by imaging software or firmware.
I am sure I will buy a DSLR eventually, but they need to mature a bit longer before I will be confident about trading in and making the leap. I know there are good cameras out there, and both pros and amatures who get by very comfortably with them. I just want to make a good decision that will not cost me a lot of extra money down the road because technology has moved on so much.
