Hi Feroze, The camera that you saw was a prototype only which was displayed in semi- operational condition at several photo expos before its development was suspended indefinitely. There should be information about it at the AOHC site and in the archives at a couple of the more prominent digital camera review sites. > One question for MZS owners, what is the battery life on the > camera, I have a Z70 & an K1000 (my grandfathers) and well I get about 20 36 > rolls fore I have to make the battery man rich again.

I haven't been though a set of batteries as yet however I have had the BG-10 grip filled with Lithium AA cells on the camera since I purchased it. > One comment on the DSLR debate, I use scans from trannies & prints everyday and > always wince when someone provides a image on disk from a digital shot. > Regardless of what camera from the EL1000 to the D1 I have yet to find a digital > image to beat a trannie image.

Shots from my E-10 are better then the 110 slides that my Pentax 110 SLR @4000dpi but not as good as those from my 67. If you expect believe that there is less potential for image loss in film then simply have your digital files written to film.
