I have not seen any 1-Gig SD cards. I just purchased a Sandisk Ultra 512 for
$198 US shipping included.

Let me rephrase:  $2700 is too much for me.  :-)
But don't go yelling at me if I end up buying
it anyway.

About the framelines, I read it that the camera will
bring up the proper framing for the lens in use; so the
Leica M 28mm Summicron, say, will bring up the 28mm
frameline, which is not the same view as the 28mm
frameline on your Leica M.  Did I miss something ?

I would have preferred CF cards, as that is what I use.
Do 1-Gig SD cards exist and at what price ?
