[Leica] Digital back

And that, Dan, is - as you know - the point. And they'd have done "no
worse" for a fraction of the cost.

I don't think most browsers are setup to display TIFFs the same way they
display JPGs or GIFs.  In my case, Apple's Quicktime started up and
displayed the image when I loaded the image into Internet Explorer.  And
I
was able to save it to my harddrive, but I can't recall what I did.   I
think when I right clicked on it, there was an option, "save target as",
which worked.

In my opinion, the image did look very good at first glance, but I don't
think any of the current crop of 6mp DSLRs (for example, the new Minolta
7D) would have done any worse.
