I agree with everybody else that the Digilux 2 is too little, too late, for too much money, but I would like to try one out. I'll get the digital back for the R8 when it comes out, but I'd like to have a 1:1 digital camera like the Canon 1Ds, too. 5 megapixels is plenty for an 11x14 print. I've done many of them. You can go larger if you use an interpolation program like Genuine Fractals. My stock agencies won't take submissions from the 5 megapixel cameras unless you know how to enlarge them without detection ;-) Tina Tina Manley, ASMP www.tinamanley.com http://www.pdiphotos.com http://www.workbookstock.com http://www.newscom.com http://www.americanphotojournalist.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
