Rubish I would say..... ;-) john - saving up for the IQ180..... ________________________________________ People are moving up in format not down. No serious photographer uses 4/3s format it is not acceptable pro level gear. The compacts coming out now that people are excited about are the 1.5 crops as they are so much more capable than the 2x crop. Its only a matter of time that a compact 1x comes out. The law of digital is things take way quicker than you think they will and half that. Its a lucrative field for r and d to pay off. If I sit here thinking a digital full frame in effect Rollei 35 will come out in 4 years it will be 2 years. Make that one. -- Mark R. > > How do you know that?
