Same here, Jim.  All of the stock I'm selling now is sent as digital 
files.  The Leica Digilux is a pretty good stepping stone until I decide 
where to spend the major bucks.  I've sold quite a few and the response has 
been great.  Nobody has complained that they aren't large enough.  It's so 
much easier than film!  I took a laptop to Spain and burned CD's as I 
filled up cards.  Everything worked fine.  All of the digital photos are 
already on file and ready to sell.  The film is still hanging in the darkroom.
