I'm curious... how many of us NEED to add a digital SLR to the arsenal, vs,
how many WANT to. There are many legitimate reasons one would need to
purchase a digital body right away but I suspect there's a lot of jumping on
the bandwagon too.

Hi Doug!
You are, again, right. Most likely none of us NEED a digital. The much
vaunted advantages for news and sports photographers are not really needed
for amateurs.
I am thinking of digital because I am in the process of moving to a small
town (pop. 2400) where it is an hours drive to drop off a roll of
film. I'd prefer digital so that I can then email the files for the prints
I want, to the nearest town; and pick them up on my weekly or semi-monthly
trip.
With film, in such a situation, I'm looking at two or four weeks to see my
pictures. After living, for years, just a 5 minute walk from a good lab
that offers cheap, next day service, I don't find a two to four week wait
acceptable.
I agree, however, that most of us (and most digital buyers overall) are
interested in digital solely for the instant gratification that used to be
the purview of Polaroid.
Cheers!
