By my calculations a new R9 plus a DMR will still be somewhat less than a 1DS. Pro and cons? Full screen sensor with the Canon vs full system functionality with the DMR. Worth waiting for to my mind. I'm also hoping there will be a full screen sensor upgrade from Leica. I think I will be one to keep using film for what it is best for and do see myself switching backs in the field (or using two R8s, one with the DMR and the other with film). The digi back will be ideal for confirming the shots look the way I want - a bit like a polaroid back :-) Rick.
