Slung around the neck is an M6 TTL, and what I beleive is a Leica SLR, I am not familiar enough with them to say for sure, but it sure looks like one. Surprising they didn't have a Nicanolta with some huge zoom if they wanted to show a REAL photographer :) >> Noel Charchuk >> - ----------------------------- Those Palm Pilots are everywhere! The Palm V is, as it's advertising indicates, slick. It is a good thing to whip out in front of a group of people (?) Didn't like 'em now I do... It's the modern day pack a smokes. And Palm People HIT THE SPOT. THIS is what will not only give leica attention but rightful recognition of its subtle yet powerful presence. The Pilot and M6, was this to create a contrast so as to bring the 'new' palm thing out? Nah . They'd use a six shooter but it's against the aclu. Rising portability needs that ground which is the prototype (and still is) of portability in a time when 'capturing' is so big (the Palm VII swipes the stocks out of thin air). Konica, etc, this is all good for Leica. Get the attention, Then direction will follow. Palm should try that with another camera and see how well it works. ENO
