Good Mornin' Jerry!
Yes, I too could easily and happily live with the r4 though R7 form factor=
in a digital. Although the ergonomics of the R8/9 are certainly much=
nicer than the R4/7 series.
I think that simple economics will dictate that the current body size will=
be continued. OTOH, Hans Peter Cohen, when he was in charge, admitted that=
the R8/9 sizing was a mistake and that when they'd paid off the tooling,=
they wouldn't do that again! So, who knows?
Heavens, the camera may never appear, but I can dream, can't I?
David.
