The prices on these digital backs are just completely out of line. For example, the Canon 1Ds 11 megapix camera with a 35mm sized sensor costs an outrageous $7500 (street price) but that includes a top-of- the-line professional quality camera body. The Leaf 11 megapixal back ALONE with a 35mm sized sensor is $12000. This is irrational. Like the dinosaur large major airlines that for years qouged the business flyer with exorbident fares, so goes Leaf gouging the professional photographer. I can't even imagine what they'll attempt to charge for this new back. This back should sell for around $5000, we'll see what they charge.
