What dSLR should I buy? Sigma, Nikon, Fuji or Canon?

OK, so I've had my Sigma SD10 for 3 years and I'm reaching decision time for the next dSLR. The choices are wide open as I've only really got the Sigma 105mm macro as a halfway decent lens.

So, should I consolidate my Sigma investment (I'll be keeping the SD10 and all my lenses, whatever) with the SD14? I really like the Sigma images and whilst I'll admit that the camera has certain eccentricities and is not for everyone, I enjoy getting the most out of it! But you do have to work at it!

Or go for the Nikon D200, which has had pretty good reviews - and I'd have to admit is a very attractive proposition? The Nikon lenses aren't too bad either!

Then there's the Fuji S5 - based on the D200 but with a Fuji engine and the intriguing attempt to achieve dynamic resolution with it's "doubled" sensors

Finally, I'll have to include Canon. Ironically, it's the most "sensible" choice (with the best range of lenses/accessories) but a bit like the iPod, totally lacking in imagination. Well hyped and with those dire "look I've got a white lens" (if ever there's a reason NOT to go for a manufacturer - whatever happened to subtlety and understatement?). And as for which model? Probably the 30D (you can really see my enthusiasm, can't you?). Or wait for the 40D (bound to have even more irritating bells and whistles - whatever happened to "lets just make it work well")

And to those that know me and might be a little surprised that I'd even consider jumping ship, whatever happened to customer loyalty (you'd think Sigma would be preferential to Sigma camera users in the "lens queue" but we're actually last!)?
