Hi, I agree - 36 Megapixels is more enough. I would definately not upgrade to a larger DSLR should they come out. Also card manufacturers would have to manufacture extra-high capacity cards which, as mentioned, would require considerably more RAM.

My feeling is that Sony and Canon will come out with a 40mg DSLR .
