I'm still waiting for one off the little yellow K-01's to drop into my budget range. So I know how you feel about buying gear. Took me about 2 years to save up for a camera before. And when I finally got ready... I found out my parents didn't have the money for their mortgage, so I gave it to them. Started saving again. A year and a half later, my partner was fired, and I had to spend the money on some of his bills. The 3rd time around, I was saving up for the Pentax K-1, and it got bumped further out. And I started getting nervous about any other emergencies, didn't want to wait another 9 months. So I bought a Nikon D610 instead of risking it.
