Cosina Voigtlander Bessa digital camera?

Just as a note all. How many people here scan their photos? I scan mine (hell, I don't even get prints). But at the price point of this thing it is NO intrest to me. Pixel count is not what would cathc my attention. It is croping factor. I mean come on, you figure range on one focal lengeth, and isolation on another? Give me a break. I would be interested in it if it was full frame and under $5K. As it is... no.

As for pixel count. I use film as do most here. About the slowest I use is NPZ (800). Print film that I can handily scan at 5400 DPI, or 40 MegaPixel. This is not "lower resolution" as some have suggested.

We will se how the quality it.

Now for today: SLR or RF....
 
Robert, I scan as well, on a Minolta 5400, and the scans are very very good. But to be honest, for all practical purposes they are no better than the direct images I get from my Canon Digital Rebel (6mpx) and nowhere near as convenient.

This camera catches my fancy. The only design decision I don't like is the SD card for storage. Most folks who are serious about digital already have a bevy of large-storage CF cards and this decision by Epson/Cosina doesn't play into the market as well as it could. Who wants to invest in a different, non-interchangeable storage medium when you're already stocked? For folks just staring out it'll be fine.
