My 'Closest Leica Sources' HONESTLY all independently confirmed it ... like a freight train down a tunnel. This is TRUE I am ASSURED!! The R DIGITAL - the Rd, or RD As they all say, it will come in the form of a replaceable $7,500.00 around 10 megapixel '1.3X multiplier' size chip, CMOS in nature. Essentially, you will take the back off your R8/9, take off the motor or drive if any is there, and snap the front of the camera onto it's new holder, which will have all the expected 'stuff' - greater than 2" preview screen, plus all the stuff one wants to see there and doesn't on any other DSLR's. Why else (as I am shown what I know is there already) are "All these contacts built in below the film guide rails? LOOK! See them before?" Yes - I have - and as you all as well, wondered why they are there. Maybe even by the fall, THIS 2003 fall .... So, anything new goin' on?
