15mm? Whoa. That's... impressive. And a lot of glass. But what do you shoot with an 800mm? I always found long lenses tough to use unless I was sitting in the stands of an event or something.
I never really had a lot of impressive equipment, although I'd really love a digital SLR right now, even if it is just to hear a shutter fire when I push the button.

True, true and true. That Nikon is like a brick. I dropped it while climbing in New Mexico - it fell 15 feet and had no damage.
Wide angles are fucking awesome. Actually, Sony makes wide angles lenses for the F series (all their cameras, in fact). Just need a converter that goes over your lens. There's a whole kit for my P8 - I can get it for $75 on eBay (happy birthday to me ...).
800mm was fantastic for sports. That's about it really. And thong watching from a distance. But I wouldn't know about that.
A friend of mine got a 1D last year .. I think he's trying to sell his D60 for $1000-1100 if you're interested.
