I finally read this thing. Very educational.

I vote for “Big Bertha.”

I think I might take out a mortgage on one of those sigma “RPG’s”. One thing not mentioned here is that they retail for 25k and are made to order.

I hope at that price the shipping is free.

Max-
Glad you like the photo of the transparent Pentax K20D. Unfortunately, it was only made for marketing purposes. It wouldn’t actually work. Light-tightness is just as critical as it ever was for photography. So you won’t be seeing a working clear-bodied camera anytime soon

Ever since I saw, but never used or owned one, a camera flash unit with a clear transparent body casing back in the late ’70s/early ’80s, I’ve been waiting for a similar clear & transparent camera body to come along! Especially now when light-tightness isn’t as critical as in the good old days of film (maybe I’m wrong here?). Or they can make a lightproof box for the sensor & the rest of the camera body out of tough clear transparent acrylic, etc. It’d be fun to see all the camera body innards!

Yes - I meant “Rocket Propelled Grenade.” Not a gamer so I would never have thought of the other meaning for RPG

RPG - as in Rocket Propelled Grenade?!
It is a monster, so how about … The Hulk?

I KNew Sony was in it for the duration. Their new 24mp sensor is was more than I hoped for or expected. I’d settle for something in the 16-18 range for my max. What, no guesses on the price of such a beauty? I’m deliberating whether or not on the a700- for the 5fps, but really need the live view, also- which a700 lacks. As per usual, Sony does their famous job of marketing: Bringing out scattered models, with scattered features. Live view with the new a350 and 14mp, but only 2.2 fps! Go figure! They already have all the features I Need, but not in the same box.
What do you bet the new SuperCam will be Pro-Priced, as in Canon Mark’s or Nikon’s D3x, etc? I see something in the $3500-7000 bank. But not in my bank.

The Fuji folder is virtually the same as a previous folder (which I owned) that had a vertical 645 format with a 75mm 3.5 lens.

This one appears to have a horizontal viewfinder, so I have to wonder which format it will have.
