Humbly report, Michael, a context for the EFS-1: kodak.com Pros and many amateurs have extensive existing 35mm systems, and to bring them into the digital world with EFS-1 - in toto - for under $1k, with the same resolution level as that of digital camera bodies costing much more? Yes, that does turn my head! Cons for me? One - 30 shots and time to hook up for a download? Not exactly a mobile dream come true. Two - the 100 ASA rating. I'll wait for at least 800 ASA. Three - the 2 seconds pause between shots. Limiting. At the price I'd want better. All in all, very interesting! Svejk (GL-15 applies: digiserve.com ;-)

Comments on ImageG I agree with you. At $1000 its much too expensive. Definitely not mass market. At 30 shots and then download to a PC, its also not mobile. At $100, it would be a great replacement for film cartridges, but for a $1000, forget it. You can buy a top of the line digital (mass market anyway) for that, with a lot more added features. Or in a years time, buy a Mega-pixel for $500 and several flash cartridges, to be really mobile. Joe C
