A little off-topic, but here's my logic. I'm a Leica user, this is a Leica
list, I want a digital camera, Leica doesn't have one, so ...

You Leica users, what would you do. I too have a batch of AIS lenses and
am used to metering anyway.

Nikon or Canon? The full-frame argument is ok, but it's not essential to
me. A rectangle is a rectangle. I don't mind picking up a couple of
autofocus lenses to use the camera full throttle.

Which route have LUGers gone? I'm banking on prices dropping around March
(at some kind of expo that is popular with the digital producers). Canon
doesn't make the D60 anymore, prices of the D100 have actually dropped
here in Norway, so much so that they're cheaper than they are in Sweden
(now THAT is dramatic).

I'm leaning towards Nikon. I'll probably start (and most likely finish)
with a D100 kind of camera (price range). Any flames?

All the best, Daniel
