Digital BW, The Print

Ernest,

I think most people are coming to the conclusion they'd rather have an
D800E than almost any other camera. I've just spend 3 weeks in China with
one and apart from the low res LCD display (it sub samples the zoomed in
display so hard to tell how sharp image is), can't really fault it. I used
to pine for a more compact, better low light, higher res etc. cameras. Not
any more.... I think the D800E is a inflection point for 35mm and will wipe
out 80% of MF sales going forward - which is a shame, but reality.
