Hi Eric,

Who'd you order from that had to back order it?  I held one in my hands last 
week at Cooter's Village Camera, in Dallas.  I was more impressed than I 
intended to be.

I don't know what the complaints are about, because this camera was awesome! 
No noise, even at low light in any shots I took - and I tried to make it 
produce noise because of all I've read.  The salesman was pretty pleased 
with the camera and the way it handled - there would have been no talking 
him down, not even a penny.  If I were in the market for a digital camera, 
this would be my first choice.

I'm going to be a bit blasphemous here, and suggest the Rokkor M 28mm. 
Great little lens at about half the price of the Leica variety.

Whatever you decide, the correct answer is always, "Blow your resolution on 
day 2!"  ;-)
