Austin, there is a straight B&W digital body from Kodak, called the 
DCS 760M. 6 megapixel, 12 bit, single channel monochrome data 
capture. Claimed to produce the sharpest images from a handheld 
digital camera. About 11K though, more then the DCS 760 which has a 
color sensor and way out of my price range. It IS a niche camera.
