I did not expect the MM to be a large run, where did you hear of the 1000
units Geoff?

If I told you John, I'd have to kill you ;-) ;-)
JOKING!
 Someone on the L Camera Forum mentioned it. Probably only fifth hand
telling so completely reliable ;-)
I know where at least two of them are going though (on the LUG).
Some customer put his M9P up for sale here this morning at my dealers (42
actuations!) so maybe that's 3.

For Dante, yep I agree of course regarding loss of compressed DNG functon.
I hadn't heard anything on that anywhere actually.

I think the most interesting info emerging thus far is the sensor's
spectral sensitivity. Sandy McGuffog has worthwhile comment on his
Chromasoft site. Experimenting with the sample DNGs made available by Jono
Slack (tester) is instructive too.
Actual first retail firmware may change everything of course.

I'm really looking forward to cameras getting out there in multiple hands
and what people learn from shooting and developing. Awfully nice files to
play with in LR4. Looking at 100% is a revelation to my eyes.

Cheers,
Geoff
