motor drive via the power pack. Looks like a winner to me. Now how to get
the money, an R8 and have it all delivered prior to the trip in early
December. ;-) I guess I could get mine over there, Assuming the wife would
not kill me first. ;-)

I wonder if you'll have to cock the shutter manually (as in the Epson
R-D1) or if the Digital-R back will also have a built-in motor to
wind the shutter mechanism. If you have to manually cock it, then 2
fps isn't a big deal. If it's a motor drive, then 2fps will seem
agonizingly slow on occasion.
