Sales of DSLRs rose from 277,796 in 2003 to 578,000 in 2004 and are on track to break records this year as 200,000 units had already been sold by April 2005. The 2005 PMA US Consumer Photo Buying report also reveals that 60% of DSLR owners are male, who are slightly older than compact digital camera users at around 48 years old, but younger than 35mm SLR users at 52."</i><br /><br />So I figured I should do a poll. We may have done a similar one about a year ago but no harm in going again.

I have noticed a lot of people with dSLR's while traveling lately - definitly on the rise!

Point-and-shoot, but my next camera will definitely be a dSLR. The prices just mean I'll have to save up for awhile. :(
