Only a year ago 3 megapixel cameras were at the top of the market. Now they are available in the $500 - $700 range. At this rate an 8 to 9 megapixel model, duplicating the resolution of Tri-X, should be available by the end of Bush's first term for about the price of an M body. Wouldn't it be nice if Leica lenses could be fitted to it? Larry Z
