The Leica booth had a prototype of the digital R. It looked very good, and the enormous test photo was pretty impressive (if you like to count peach fuzz hairs on a model's nose). Chris handled it much more than I. Size-wise, it seemed studio-like, but was light enough to not cause hernias. They also had the two CM P&S cameras there. Much smaller than they seem to be in their ads, and relatively quiet. Lighter and less substantial feeling than the Minilux, which should turn off many Leicaphiles. Jeffery
