The crazy thing about "trying to outsmart" the techno-economy is that my "old" M8 and R8/DMR keep making wonderful photographs; and seem to be holding their value well over time; and they allow me to use astounding glass. My "old" Canon 5D is holding at around $750 - $1K (depending on condition) for nearly 7 year old technology. This says to me that a certain maturation has occurred in the digital camera technology. I don't need to keep chasing after the holy grail. (yet continue to dream of M9 and Medium format backs) YMMV Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist
