And Canon makes something like 30,000 cameras a month of a single model.....
Is the DMR a mainstream camera?

Let's do some math... if the US is 1/2 the market, this means 60 a month,
worldwide.. if it has a 6 month lifespan ( like most consumer goodies) that
means there will be 360 camera backs made.  A little rarer than a Leica
IIId.

Let's hope they start shipping a lot more ......They need the revenue......

I heard that Leica is shipping 30 DMR's a month to the USA.
