I don't see that this is a sign of digital versus film in terms of 
release time at all. 2 years of the D100 and perhaps a new one coming.. 
whats so speedy about that? Besides, the D1 is still being used 
professionally without any problems, and so will the D100. No big deal, 
just don't sell yours. I'm not selling my M2 just because Leica is 
planning a digi M.
