My guess is that it will be about the sameas the M8.2, adjusted for dollar deflation.
I thought you'd never ask Doug... :-)as long as we are guessing the eventual R10 cost, when it arrives optimistically in 2010, or maybe later, I will guesstimate $10, 000-12, 000 USD, maybe more if it appears later...

Any adapter out there will not allow for Auto-Aperture operation using R lenses.... which I think I am on record of stating is a deal breaker for me..... So there is no C or O body that will work, at this time. Maybe someone will invent a proper adapter to make the aperture connections, buttime will tell.....No argument from me re: auto-aperture function. Without a breakthrough in understanding the time/space continuum you will not see an adapter to fit R lenses on an EOS body that makes aperture connections. Very unlikely therewill be an O body adapter to fit R lenses with the auto-aperture connection, and there's that crop factor too.I can not see changing to C or O and buying all new lenses made by that company. My existing Nikkors are as good. It would be smarter for metobuy a D700 ( as you suggest) or a D3 or a D-whatever and use what I haveforlenses.I agree. Or an older film R body & try a few R lenses. If they work out as well as you've expected, when the R10 becomes available the cash outlaywould be only for the body, not body + lenses.There is an underlying element here that I would also switch from RF ( M6)to SLR..... for most if not all my photography.I'm curious why the switch, particularly since you're interested more inwides than in longs.
