Speaking of which, we're supposed to be in the mid-60s later this week. Can't wait to get some shots of the Z4 when it comes out of storage now that I have an assortment of glass to experiment with.

Don't get me wrong Mark, my wife is the same way but with what I take pictures of, I have a valid point for purchasing. What do you like to take pictures of?
For example, what I did yesterday
300mm F4 1/640 and 3200 ISO - High school musical rehearsal for Fiddler on the roof
Freebie, I do it for kicks so getting that 5D for its low light goodness would be a financial stretch and the 7D for its AF ability would be too.

The 7D would be more likely to catch shots like the Blue Angels or jets in general with its faster AF.
So it depends on what you shoot, the 50/60D would give me the same as the 40D- Adequate
The closer I get to retirement, the more I know what I want to do. One and three are pretty much covered, so now I need to work on item two.

2)
3) Hawaii
