My EOS 40D is still at Canon. Long Easter weekend contributed to the delay. They expect to have it ready tomorrow.

Meanwhile I've got Canon G9 as a second camera to serve as a backup, and a compact that I plan to have more often with me thatn the SLR. Also a tool suitable for other family members.

And the weather is playing jokes. Just when I expected spring (and when many trees have already blossomed) there was so much snow in Belgium... it wasn't pleasant at all with temperature above zero and dark grey skies. The snow is already over but it's still gloomy. Hope will get better before the weekend.
