Well, it would be silly not to ask any questions. What if it's 12 megs, but only shoots a frame every 2 seconds or sucks over ISO 400? If it met my specs, I'd probably buy one within a few months. I figure, like the MZ-S, it will have a few bugs, and I'll wait for them to be ironed out. There is the slim possibility I might wait for version 2. I suspect the body we'll start hearing about soon will be about 6 megs. I might wait for the next iteration, depending on the specs and user reports. tv -- Thomas Van Veen Photography www.bigdayphoto.com 301-758-3085
