silicon film alternatives are less than $8K

The resolution of EFS isn't all that hot. Don't some sub $1K consumer grade cameras have higher pixel counts? I'll agree with you that these cameras have sucky optics though that can't really take full advantage of their pixel count.

Canon has a "prosumer" camera with decent optics at $3K. Good chance it would provide superior images than silicon film. Think it is called the EOS-D30. They really don't have a "professional" grade camera out yet.

Nikon's D1 is $4K. That will certainly take better pictures.

As time goes on, these prices will keep dropping. The clock is ticking. I must agree, it does look like a decent product though. 12 months ago, it would have been an awesome product.
