A US/EU distribution announcement for the Pentax 645D. Although that would make my next camera choice THAT much harder.
Definitely have to agree on the D700x/Nikon Prosumer refresh. But that AGAIN would make my decision even tougher. Oh, poor me, too many nice cameras to choose from! haha! A price drop on the D3x would do, as well.
I'd settle for any of the above. But I'll hope for all. I like to be confused!

Wishes ? Hey that's easy.
Realistic wishes is a totally different matter
I have some apparently completely unrealistic wishes with regards to 'presentation'.
(1) A breakthrough with a completely new print technology that would make huge prints affordable
I'm surprised that we don't see more competition and development on print technology.
Everything seems concentrated about cameras where we see a lot of competition, fast development and prices coming down as this new digital technology matures.
Not so with print, as far as I have noticed. I would love to be proven wrong about that.
(2) Or, as an obvious alternative to countless, expensive large prints, an Ultra High Resolution Flat Panel Monitor, not for movies (with all kinds of update speed complications), but just for enjoying and presenting still pictures, photos. (Despite how slow the update might be).
How about something like 6000 x 4000 pixels as max resolution, just for a start ? Why not ?
I'm not an engineer. Can anyone explain to me why it can't be done, why we don't see this ?
With the millions of digital photos taken every day it seems like an obvious solution with a huge demand and thus a huge potential.

I also do have an absolutely realistic wish.
I hope that it will be confirmed that this Nikon rumor about the coming Nikon mirrorless is true.
Because it seems like it has a viewfinder (heck, it seems like it even has a mirror ...)
I don't know if I will buy the camera at all, I just hope that Canon and Nikons takes on mirrorless will have viewfinders, because I think it is so scary that it seems to become an increasing trend that a viewfinder is not neccessary.
In my opinion a viewfinder is what separates a real camera from a snapper gadget. A mandatory feature. I admit I have kind of a viewfinder obsession
After all it's what my sight 'touches' and 'uses' when trying to get an image just like I want it.
As accurate as possible.
Exposure is of course important, as is focus.
Still, composition is the single most important element of a final image. Of a well seen image. I think.

Good morning all
How about the full frame sensor from the 5d Mk II in the 7d body with a megapixel count in the mid teens.

I agree completely, and the viewfinder should be 100%, bright, and have a screen capable of accurate manual focus.

Time to go out there and take more, better photos, time to edit each of them to the best of my abilities and time to... oh wait, that's another department, right? Somewhat higher up?
Ok then; a full frame Nikon in a D90 sized body, waterproof and made from light, indestructable materials and with some nice, compact primes to match. Hmmmm.... that sounds like an FF K7. Pentax? How about it?

Sell most of the surplus gear, gather as much funds as possible, make time and make a dedicated photography visit to India.

Now that I have the NEX5 I'm looking forward to the NEX7 announcement and the announcement of E-Mount lens roadmap. A high quality Zeiss 16-80 with a 2.8 constant aperture would be nice to replace the kit lens with as would a reasonably fast normal and portrait/macro lens.

D700 with D3x sensor; that's all I need. I would sell one of the present D700 bodies and would have the perfect duo for all my present work.
