Here's a comparison between the film formats, a D700, D3x and a Hasselblad 31MP. For those that say pixels aren't everything you'll probably want to take a look at this. A 50MP sensor would probably make the 31MP picture look blurry.
I've been using the original Porsche wheel for about a year now on my PC and PS3. I have no complaints other than it didn't have a power switch (how stupid was that?) All wheels now days have the power switch. Anyway, I purchased the stand which made it even better since I didn't need to attach it to my desk.
Since I was a sucker and purchased the first iteration of the wheel I missed out on the Xbox 360 compatibility and am regretting it.
One of the "problems," other than the missing power switch, is that the stitching of the leather on the spokes can chaff the fingers. I seriously considered looking really geeky and buying driving gloves to use the wheel so I wouldn't get blisters.

That little red Leica symbol is pretty expensive. I'd actually buy this camera without so it's not a target. Then again, I guess black tape would work. I was wrong about it using a Canon sensor now that they said it's a Kodak sensor. Too bad it's $8k. I'd really like to have one of those now that's full frame and all their older lenses will now be the focal length that they were designed for. With a lens it'll come out to $10k. Then again, a Nikon D700 with a 14-24, 24-70 f/2.8, and a 70-200 f/2.8 and a few accessories will come out to about $10k. So no savings there if all those lenses were purchased. The D700 would be more versatile, but heavier and louder than an unobtrusive Leica.
I'm pretty sure this uses a Canon 18MP sensor. The brochure specs had it down for 18MP and I remember reading that Canon and Leica might have been doing some type of deal together. If the camera didn't cost so much (that little round Leica tag that's on the front costs $3000 itself) I'd really want one.

"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
