My wife is actually using my *istD for which we just got a couple af 4Gb CF cards, still going strong, not a single dust spec in sensor or viewfinder (and focus screen), and counting around 50 thousand cycles and gone through half a dozen NiCd "AA" sets.
My K20D hasn't seen even half of the *istD's action but even though both bodies may still have lots of juice to give, I must confess I do have a strong "addiction type" need get a new flagship body. My biggest concern now is that all recent price drops on the K3 say that this camera is very VERY close to being replaced with a new flagship. There is no doubt about this issue. My real doubt is about what kind of new flagship: a K3 improvement (sort of a K3-II), or a totally new beast, like a full frame body. Of course, price of new animal is a big issue.
I am afraid I could end "empty handed" if when this day comes in a very close future, I discover the price for new beast is out of my range, and at the same time, the K3 is no longer available new...
