Yes, it seems the rumors are true! The photos came from a Japanese Leica magazine that shows a Leica R9D 8mp Digital SLR camera. The camera looks just like a R9, same finish, but of course with a digital layout on the back. 2" LCD monitor! The magazine states that Leica is trying for a early 2004 release date. Camera specs are so far: 8mp CMOS chip(yeah, full frame!) 2" LCD Monitor RAW+Jpeg modes CompactFlash and XD card slots Manual focus(sorry no AF) Seems as though the magazine mentions Fuji and Panasonic helping out in the digital areas. <a target=_blank href="http://www.zoeicaimages.com/html/leica_r9d_slr.html">http://www.zoeicaimages.com/html/leica_r9d_slr.html</a> Chris Williams New Orleans - -- To unsubscribe, see <a target=_blank href="http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html">http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html</a> > - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
