Personally, I think that Michiel has a very good point. There's stlll film lovers around. I'm just back from 3 days of Paris with only an MP. The P&S en the D200 stayed at home. I had been a long time since I had so much shooting fun. And for the digital part, there's still better than Leica ATM. Its not Olly either.
