If they say no Hexar 2, that means they have no information. Dominique Pellissier<<<<<<<< NO INFORMATION does NOT mean that something's not cooking. You all know how corporate reps will profusely deny any speculation and then launch a product. When I made reference to the Chasseur D. RE the konica, it was because an actual RF system, like a F100 or an F5 digital is supported by enough mounting rumor, albeit however speculative, to begin to attract the general publics attention. And note Konica's response. They ARE thinking about an RF system. Just thinking about it in corporate terms means they damn well have really studied both a target area in the market that will make up for the M system's shortcomings vis a vis the auomated world. A great deal of the time when a major company responds in that manner, you know they've got something cooking. Nikon denied the F5. Leica the R8. And Canon did a big Houdini routine even after acknowledging but just before launching the EOS1N.
