I think it's more than a starting point, but not a finished product. This is Leica's way of saying ' Hey - we are on this - we won't abandon you R shooters who want a digital back -- this is NOT a finished product, but it will be by Photokina.' It may be very different by the time it hits the street . I think it will be. But I LOVE the idea - I'll dedicate a body to it! No one will be switching backs in the heat of a sports shoot. SD cards will be the same capacity as CF cards (if they stay with SD cards!), and a finder screen masked off with a 'shaded' area would be great! Like the M, you can see what's coming in and out of the frame. I'm glad they are not just talking, but showing, what's developing behind the scenes. Then again, they can't win can they? Tell us what's going on and show products in the pipeline, and people complain - keep it secret, but just say it's on the way, and people complain ; loose - loose situation for Leica there. Meantime, film gets better and better as well! I'm pretty happy about the whole ordeal. Looks like they have a good thing on it's way!
