Nobody seems to have responded with the reason many of us don't buy DSLRs:
we buy what we can afford. I would love to have a DSLR with a collection
of lenses and accessories, but I get along with my S3 IS. When medical
expenses go down, gasoline goes down etc I will get a DSLR. But in the
meantime I enjoy what I have.

Have you considered getting a film scanner, and continuing to use your film
cameras and lenses for image capture?

Especially if you have several bodies, the film scanner turns them, in a
sense, into "digital cameras."

For me, the appeal of digital is in the editing, not necessarily in the
image capture phase.
