But I'm sure it's sales have dropped like, well, like an F5 off a cliff, given that it is basically a PJ camera, and PJs are all switching to digital. Where it's essential is for shooting high-speed sequences when the shooter needs the resolution of film, rather than the comparatively low resolution of the higher speed Nikon and Canon pro-SLR digitals. My son, for example, who shoots skateboarders, can't even consider a digital SLR yet. B.
