It kinda "looks" like a camera. Are there other digital cameras that one could consider (other than the M8 or Epson Rd-1 which I just cannot afford right now)? Is the Panasonic, even without a optical viewfinder, a choice to consider? Whatever the choice I make it is likely that I will have to buy it via the internet sight-unseen. I am in a very rural situation and am isolated from other photographers and camera shops. I cannot depend on my past experience with film cameras to guide me into this brave new world. I moved from Tucson awhile back and lost my capability (and for some reason, the will) to develop and print my own film. It is time, I guess, to enter the digital world. I mean, what the heck, I just switched from PC to Mac, why not analog to digital image capture? Selling my MP and lenses is a big step, but I am seriously considering it. My M6 is already gone. The Huge (and unused) Nikon system now lives with someone else. Thanks much Jack Jack McLain In the desert near Maricopa, Arizona "But It's a Dry Heat!"
