I too am awaiting for an e-something for a buy it now of $199.
Until then, I will continue my pre-historic ways and continue with that old
nasty film.  Although a long time OM owner, for many years I was not active
in photography and only in the past few years have I gotten back into the
swing of things so to speak.  So as many of you switch horses, I am still
trying to figure how to put the saddle on the old nag.

It is interesting though that when I show friends my pictures and inform
them that the source is film based, they are amazed that such a technology
still exists and that there are people still employing it.
