There's one out now. I bet dozens more soon. I just have too much fun with my DSLR shooting as ASA 1600. f16 at 1600th of a second shooting mad dogs in the noon day sun. I hope Leica does not put much D and R into the 4 thirds because if I'm right its going to go the way of the dodo. Especially once we see how small the APS cameras and I'm talking DSLR's but also point and shoots- can be. Certainly the size of APS film cameras if you've ever seen one. I saw a picture of one next to a ruler once. A Nikon. A comical point on how the DMR's selling so much better now that they're out. I think its a given that the market for gizmos which don't quite exist yet is very small. I put my money where the gizmos I can see behind the glass counters is.
