Thanks goodness Leica will be QA''ing the RD. And there can be great comfort about Imacon doing the software thing. Those last two assuming everyone has forgotten about the QA issues with early R8s and the fact that Imacon spent ages producing rubbish FlexColor software for the Windows platform before actually getting a stable release. Wonder what the Digilux 2 will be like - it was mentioned briefly during the conference. 5 or 6MP, large screen (as now), ISO 100-1600 with useable quality (unlike now). ISO 100 images from that baby are superb, so the next version should be truly stunning. Simon - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
