Hopefully the idiot designers decided to make the SATA port holes larger. Stupid me purchased two of their previous models and both of them had to have the SATA ports enlarged in order to stick a cable into it and have it run reliably.

I'm pretty sure this is 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 the Porsche steering wheel from Fanatec and it's fantastic. Granted, though, I was an early (read dummy) adopter and got the one without the power on/off switch (stupid design) and no Xbox 360 support (ARGH!) not to mention the high price.

da BEST!

No compass? The Dakota 20 has a 3 axis compass so it doesn't have to be held level and you can use it while standing still. That sounds like the one to get.

Wow. Should I be saying goodbye to my 60CSx? I do like that smaller size.

I'll take it

This is response to hansning:

I've seen pictures where the person said they used a Nikon D3! I just can't imagine it fitting. It is supposed to work with small DSLR's and lenses for a total weight of up to 3 pounds. The 75-150 lens is an old manual lens that's lightweight and best of all, skinny enough to fit between the shutter button assembly plate that's on the Gigapan.

The mount that the SLR sits atop though does bend because of the weight, so even if the Gigapan is level the camera is tilting somewhat. My philosophy is to just try it and see if it works. If it does great, if it doesn't, well, at least you tried.

Yet another e-ink announcement of a product that won't reach market for a million years.

Not sure if Nintendo realizes but the drop in sales could possibly be caused by a lousy economy? Just throwing that out there. Also, the lack of 1080 or even 720p might finally be rearing its ugly head as people are switching TV's in preparation to digital TV and realizing how lousy the Wii looks. Another thing is that people want things that are unobtainable or hard to get. The Wii fit that profile perfectly. Now that you can find it in almost any Target or Walmart, who cares about it anymore? Finally, as others have said, market saturation.
