Pal, in north America they are all about the glitz and
glamour, the latest hi tech. I had a hard time finding
a 50mm lens new or used in Toronto, it's next to
impossible to get a decent prime telephoto either. If
it doesn't have a nikon or canon logo on it they
rarely know about it.

I hope it will be a 4 to 5Mp, with a focal-multiplier of 1.3 or 1.4.
If that is offered for US $3000 to $3500 with other specs comparable to the MZ-D,
I will get one for

The Contax N1 is *HUGE*. Even the 50mm AF lens is larger than any other

I doubt that with Contax saying they are only producing
1000/month of the
cameras that there will be any shortage of the Phillips IC. A
production of
only 1000/month will easily sustain the $6500 price of the
camera for the
foreseeable future

Hi,
The way I read the article, the camera is not yet out but will be
available in February. Let's see if it actually hits the stores and
will find its way into the hands of consumers.
