The only thing that could convince me to retire the SL is a new SL3, basically an updated SL in the spirit of the MP. Make it compatible with R-cam and ROM lenses, give it the SL2's meter sensetivity and hot shoe, and my credit card will be in trouble. A real MLU would be nice too, but as long as the shutter-button-flick trick works MLU isn't essential.
