Pardon me while I wipe the drool off of myself . . .

It's more like a scanner than a digital camera. Read what Ken Rockwell think about that. http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/seitz-6x17-digital.htm

Thats some major hardware. I guess in 20 yrs all we'll have to do is blink and process it nanochip in our brain.

I didn't catch a projected pricetag for that. Anyone else see one?

Thanks for the link.
Although it's quite dismissive of Ken. NOT a very good review IMO.
And 160MB? Huh? That's 160 million pixels, mate. Small error, although not one that should happen on such a review.

Personally can't stand most of the stuff that Ken says. I agree that film is great, but this guy just can't say enough BS about how digital will never live up to film. He even has false comparisons on his web page of film vs digital. Personally anyone that dependent upon film has his own problems that he should deal with, and not be reviewing digital cameras.
