And this one as well: CANON EOS-1D Mark II Digital SLR The new 8 megapixel Canon EOS-1D Mark II is the worldís fastest pro digital SLR. Capturing 8.5 fps in continuous bursts of up to 40 frames and RAW images in continuous bursts of up to 20 frames, it is the ideal camera for sports, wedding and portrait photographers. Estimated retail price is $4,499. <http://www.alkit.com/view.asp?gid=31&id=1517> Fond regards, G e o r g e L o t t e r m o s e r, imagist >> Actually the one I'm happy is in the game is KonicaMinolta with their newly announced 7. Using the same moderately sized body of the 7 film version, same retro controls, and the Anti-shake technology which means the image stabilization is in the body not each and every lens. I like because it makes my regular lenses IS lenses without having to buy new specific IS lenses like Canon or Nikon. I'm not into digital camera bodies, but interesting approach since it makes IS technology more affordable to the average user. I don't think Leica can do this with their digital back, or maybe they can. Don't know really how it works, but if a leica rangefinder, digital or otherwise had internal anti-shake can you imagine what a noctilux could do? - -kim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
