Respectfully, Bruce, that's not true. If you read the B&H reviews, many people still enjoy using Silver Efex Pro to do their own rendering from the RAW files (which still contain way more information than a mere JPEG does). You've got all kind of creativity left there. Whether it is worth $8K for the camera and several $K more for the decent lenses to put on it is a different matter. I think anyone who spends that is either MAD or perhaps dying and wants to do SOMETHING with the money they have in the bank.
