Fujix also has a camera built along the same lines. Both are really nice, mega-pixel cameras, but this Summer, I asked the price and it was in the neighborhood of $13K, and as my Ole Daddy use to say, "That's a nice neighborhood!" Lent new meaning to the adage- if you have to ask the price you can't afford it! I think I'll continue to use my Leicas and scan in my photos! $13K would buy a LOT of Leica glass! - -----Original Message----- From: hmcclary <hmcclary@earthlink.net> To: LUG <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Date: Sunday, 23 November, 1997 1:02 PM Subject: Re: Leica/Nikon/Canon >>Nikon has a digital back >> I hear.
