@YpoCaramel Duly noted. But explain to me why this is worth five times more than the similarly set up Sigma DP2? Yeah, I know the Sigma doesn't zoom, but Sigma's prime glass isn't something to sneeze at.
@(Unverified) I used to work for Verizon back in the 1XRTT days. I think my boss mentioned something to the effect of "If we charged $25 for the customer to have unlimited voice, text, and data, we'd still make a substantial profit."
I've noticed that most of the people who glorify Leica can't afford one anyway. I've rarely seen anyone shooting with a Leica. Their rangefinders might be great, but it doesn't change the fact that this is a glorified point and shoot, not an M8.
This camera is as ridiculous as Canon charging $1200 for the G11.
@NeonCoyote Seconded. I'd love to have House as my doc. Sure he'd hurt me, berate me, insult me, and rifle through my stuff. But he'd cure my fungal spleen cancer.
@chispito My friend gave me an old black and white TUBE Walkman a couple of years ago. Yes, you heard me right, the first generation Sony pocket TVs, that had a spoon-shaped picture tube. The reception was terrific and It's really a damned shame it doesn't work anymore due to the switchover.
"I have a friend who's taken a job in a security field and the employer doesn't allow cameras on cellphones. He's currently happy with an iPhone 3GS and would definitely consider an Android device but is having trouble finding a decent phone with no camera. The only caveat is that for whatever reason he doesn't want a BlackBerry. Does anyone else make a decent smartphone sans camera? Thanks!"
