With only a few exceptions, Bill, it is always less expensive and
more useful to throw out the old and in with the new re:
computers.

Much as I like Leica, darned if I'd pay more for the Digilux than the
Fuji MX-700. Leica has sinned far more, in my eyes, by merely
rebadging the Fuji than it did in the past when, at least, there
were *some* differences in the Minolta etc. products and the
Leica analogs. BTW, the MX-700 is selling under $500 now at
several web vendors.
Lastly, the rec.photo.digital newsgroup is a good source of info on
all digital cameras. Good high S/N ratio too!
