I'm just waiting for the photophile hobby to catch up with the audiophile hobby where you have small business that'll buy consumer gear and replace all of the linear components with high precision gold plated components made of pure unobtainium. Is a D3x not expensive enough for you? Ship it to us and we can make it cost more than a Phase One. Do you like the form factor of the K-M, but can't stand the lack of bragging rights? We'll sprinkle our magic pixie dust on it and you'll have the lightest $15,000 DSLR on the block. -- Every medium suffers from its own particular handicap.
