I'm trying to figure out where the heck I can find a waiting list to put myself on ... LOL the folks at Epson Canada don't even know about this thing yet. :D IMO most camera dealers who also carry the Epson printers will be your best bet ... I'm in Toronto so most likely I'll call Vistek, Photocreative, etc. ... I don't think this will be a HOT item though ... manual everything just isn't popular nowadays. :D :D :D

Best,

They've go some specs for it there for this very interesting camera. Rumor has it that Leica may actually be unveiling a full frame 35mm rangefinder type digital camera in two years. If stuff like this is already coming out, Leica had better hurry... Loyalists will only carry them so far.
