i think I'm going to put my 100-400 on Craig's list. I bought it to go "hunting" wildlife, but I just found so little opportunity. I also used it for my boys sports events. He is grown and off to college now. That's probably also the most expensive (and heavy!) lens that I have.

i think I'll keep the others around for a while. I do enjoy landscape photography. My objection seems to be the size, weight, and inconvenience of the DSLR. The camera phone is always with me, takes great pictures... well for up to 8x10 anyway.

With camera phones advancing so fast do DSLRs have a future?

Tiny image sensors and tiny lenses will always pale in comparison to image sensors, let alone lenses , that cost as much as your entire phone

I think their days are numbered. In 5 years, they will be an antique novelty, replaced by "jewelry" that shoots continuous high quality video like a car dash cam.
