Haha .. Thanks knumbnutz. New gear doesn't necessarily mean new purchases. But the options are really widening up.

I forgot about Pentax.
Will they also do a mirrorless in 2012 or the long rumoured FF Pentax.

On the support gear front, Apple's also rumoured to be over hauling the design of a whole range of stuff this year including their laptop line, iMac, Mac Pro etc.
