I miss a 'true' SLR after owning several film SLRs.
If you are buying your second (or third, etc.) digital camera, please briefly comment on why you are or might be considering that purchase.

Second or third this is more like my 8 or 9. I think manufacturers are just ripping us off first with DSLR's there just using the film based body's they over made. Why doesn't some one make a body with interchangeable chip so we can upgrade our camera without buying new. That way manufacturers can still keep selling us stuff, and we can be current.
As a long term photographer with both 645 & 35mm cameras, I cautiously chose a high end digicam (Fugi Finepix 9000) to buy additional time to see what the market does. I'm delighted with the 9000, but miss the flexibilty of various lens and dedicated flash options. The S5 look quite good with its large/small pixals in its sensor. With price as a factor, it might be an S3.
I actually just bought a Canon Powershot SD1000 (my 4th digital) and I love it. I was outgrowing my older camera, which tends to happen every couple of years. This camera is small enough to take everywhere and advanced enough to keep me happy. Since I won't be able to afford the DSLR I crave for a while, that's a good thing!
