Just hit Wal-Mart looking for some TMY and picked up a 10 meg Canon 640. It's basically the same as my 610 but 5 megs higher on the image capture scale. Damned if when I pushed the button it whirred and clicked. What the heck, are they trying to make us miss our noisy old F-1s? I would love to have a digital M that treated my 50mm as a 50mm and my 28 as a wide angle. It would be reasonably study and weather proof and it would have to run on AA batteries. No need for it to make a noise as does my M6 but shutter lag is a definate no-no. One other thing, I'd insist it be free of bugs and not cost as much as 2 MPs.Who wants to be a financially reaped beta tester? Walt (spoiled by Leitz's former QC) B. D.
