Hi Doug!
Can't argue with you there! The DMR is the finest (digital) image
making machine I've ever seen. The lack of the AA filter yields fine
detail that cannot be found in other digitals - other than the M8 &
the MF digital backs, of course.
However, this is dependent on one actually *having* the DMR they own!
When my R8+DMR was water damaged, in Solms, the first email I
received from Ralph Hagenauer said:

It is now 7 1/2 months later, and I still do not have a functioning
camera. I don't know how others would feel, in this situation, but
I'm certainly feeling "disadvantaged".
Rose is urging me to sell the DMR, just because of Leica's incredibly
poor handling of this matter. I probably will not take her advice,
as the DMR is an incredible image cutter, despite it's foibles.
But, never again, will I travel without a backup body, of a different
brand. And, this entire episode will certainly make me think twice
about buying an R10, no matter what they come out with!
(I'm ranting... so I'll stop, now...)
Cheers!
