... and no offense taken! Thanks for the comments. One problem I have right 
now is that since my primary subjects are colorful costumers, color photos 
are pretty much a must. That's it!! This would be my excuse to squander the 
money on the R-D1!!! Then I can use the R-D1 for color photos and the M7 
for real B&W photos :-)

(actually, to be honest, the SWMBO pretty much let me buy anything I want. 
She's wonderful that way. I on the other hand, still need to justify it to 
myself)
