Hi Gary! >Isn't it really too early too pass concrete conclusions on the DMR? Probably. And I have absolutely no fear that it's performance will be superb. >The DMR units are very expensive, but what brand new Leica product isn't ? >If I were a pro, or had loads of R gear anyway, I wouldn't think the price too >out of line. The problem, Gary, is that most of us are not pros... and the 20D comes **very** close at 1/4 the price, and (with a suitable adapter) can use all manners of Leica glass. Sure, I'd love a DM-R, but only if somebody gave me one. I'll still use my R8 & SL for those situations that demand film. But the 20D has a man who swore he'd 'never' go digital (me)singing it's praises. It's quality (at ISO 1600 at least) blows film out of the water! Cheers! David Young, Logan Lake, BC CANADA.
