Too expensive for me.
I'll wait for the M9, a film camera with the nice and fast shutter of 
the M8/R9, a zoom finder to accommodate lenses from 21 to 135mm and a 
built in winder. Don't say it can't be done. Lot's of things that 
couldn't be done a year ago are real now, like the M8.

Anyhow, I got a used 20D for a bargain price. The 24 Elmarit on it makes 
a nice 38. Very close to my favourite 40. I now basicly have a P&S with 
manual focus. But I love it.

Cheers,
