Heh-heh!

However, I must say that every time someone here in Ottawa has 
commented on either of my Rolleis was when they themselves knew what 
the camera was, and admired it greatly.

But when asked about my Speed Graphic - which people here don't seem to 
know! - I say it's a "200-megapixel camera". (I omit the word 
'digital', but they immediately assume it is!)

Cheers.
