Same here, Jim. All of the stock I'm selling now is sent as digital files. The Leica Digilux is a pretty good stepping stone until I decide where to spend the major bucks. I've sold quite a few and the response has been great. Nobody has complained that they aren't large enough. It's so much easier than film! I took a laptop to Spain and burned CD's as I filled up cards. Everything worked fine. All of the digital photos are already on file and ready to sell. The film is still hanging in the darkroom.
