I'm talking about something that >can produce the image quality of at least the Canon 10D with L lenses. >Even the much vaunted Sony DSC-F717, which was arguably the best of the >5mp P&S cameras in terms of overall image quality is nowhere near the >equal of the 10D with L series glass mounted. I was yesterday in the Sonimag the Spanish photographic event, a midget Spanish Photokina, and handed all the new toys including the Sony. With his small captor is definitely a worse camera that the EOS 10D and even that the new digital Rebel (300D in Europe) that I handed for long. This Photographic Fair showed me that film is far behind right now. Approximately 95 % of the hardware was digital. Large format was truly scarce two, or three cameras and a small bunch of lenses. Medium format was almost so scarce. Brands like Kyocera are going clearly behind. Leica had a very nice stand but every piece was untouchable inside cabinets. They told me the digital back will be here next year. I seriously doubt it. The full set of cameras and lenses was there but they did not mention the new 90 macro. The big zooms are beautiful. I got the book with all the Leica products. In the big ones field Nikon do not admit they are preparing a full format, DSLR what they really are doing, and they are, as always, arrogant, but Canon is, more and more though they themselves do not concede it, the true leader. Absolutely nothing new, it's a provincial fair, but an amusing time. Felix - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
