Whoa!  Whoa!  Whoa!  I could be wrong, but my understanding is that nobody
KNOWS anything, we're just engaged here in wishful thinking and idle

dream world.

Do you know if the shutter speeds will be of the same sequence, i.e. flash
sync at 1/50 and top speed at 1/1000? and if this new model would be with
manual or automatic film advance?
