I believe that may be one of the legacies of the digital era -- quick 
turnover on what is the "in" camera.  I guess shortly Nikon will come with a 
new digital camera w/ more megapixels or whatever and everybody will want 
those.  You can tell I don't know anything about digital technology, but I 
think you can get what I'm driving at.

Gettin way off Leica Topic...but the D70 is totally defeated by Canon? Well,
that's it. Every camera company should pack it in so Canon can have a
monopoly.

I saw plenty of Canon cameras at my local store this morning.

Yes, most new agencies now shoot Canon. We've all known that. Check out
Getty Images recent Canon ad.

> May be, but my feedback is that sales of the F6 as any other film cameras
have been a total failure last months. Leica agent in Spain is canceling a
lot of personal contracts. Nikon has lost his North. While digital D70 had
his time, nowadays is totally defeated by Canon. New releases D70s and D50
have not raised any interest in customers while *every* press agency in
Spain is switching from Nikon to Canon. Agencia F the most important news
agency has recently made the switch -10 EOS 1Ds MkII and a large amount of
other cameras- . Almost every Canon camera is backordered while most of
shops are offering their stock of D70 as sales. This information is
collected from the main photographic shops in Spain. I'm not guessing
nothing.
