This is not the digital R that we're waiting for: This is a product that should never be produced: The days of grafting a digital back onto a 35mm film camera body are over, hopefully for good. I own such a D-SLR, and whatever advantages I may have in being able to switch between digital and film are far outweighted (quite literally) by the sheer mass of the thing. Converting between film and digital is a fussy operation, and given the ~$1100 price of an R8 body, I fail to see why anyone would want to bother. But the announced lead time is unusually long, and I think in the end, common sense will prevail. Jeff __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
