Well, ordered the DSI Pro III and it will ship tomorrow. Had to find one in stock in a place where there would be no sales tax or shipping, I found just that!
So, next week it will be here.
I have already got someone that read my post elsewhere and has stated he wants my DSI Pro II. grin
SO, I guess I will sell it and the LPI too and buy an Outback Cooler for the DSI III, so that I have a cooled camera for next summer!
My Christmas present to myself. wink

Outback Cooler? Do you mean that cooling pattern on the back of the DSI models are just decorations? I haven't looked at the literature, but surely your pictures must have been cooled somewhat, since they are "cool." Does the DSI III report temperature? And how much more do you get with the "Outback"? (Now I will be thinking of bloomin' onions all day...)
