Subject: [Leica] Sigma SD-1 Lower Price

I'm wondering how many people are wondering which camera to get. A D800 or a
... (what's was it called again?) from a company who makes third party
lenses?

Has anyone seen one? Heard of anyone using one or seen the results of one in
a paper or magazine?

Anyone going smaller format than full frame is smart enough to be wanting to
pay less money. Not more.
