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.

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?
