Come on, guys and guyetts - this is Bond, James Bond you're talking
about. He doesn't give a rat's butt about digital v. film, or about
photos for that matter. James Bond's M7x would have weapon of some sort
built into it so that a projectile would be fired out of the center of
the 50 Summilux - probably a mini-missile of some sort. As an add on it
might have a video camera built into the viewfinder. But this would be a
tool to assure that any moment would be the decisive moment! ;-)

I suspect Q would have come up with a few more exotic highly high tech
and functional gizmo's than THAT, Alastair!

A built in communication system so every time he takes a picture it is
instantly sent by satellite (love those shots of the satellites) to M
where they are analyzed using every technological advance they've
invented, lip readers, psychologists and Hopi Indians, plus quite a few
they haven't yet.

Laser beams that shoot out and disables Smersh optical systems!

It floats and has inflatable life rafts in case 007 finds himself in the
middle of the ocean with nothing much to photograph.
