Rico,
How many shots did you take with the Contax ND before launching into your critisicms? You settle for the Canon D30 which pales in comparision. I am also programmer of 30 years and have done alot of photography. And while I agree on your concept of a road map, it infurates me to hear such criticism and discounting of the Contax philosphy from somebody who (as your posting implies) has not really worked with the system. If you read all the postings from regular users of the system, you would read that some are satisfied, and some are not. But if you read similar reviews of the Canon equipment (D-30,D60) you will also read of people very please with the equipment and people that are more critical of those systems shortcomings. Keep in mind, that up until recently, Contax offered the ONLY full frame CCCD. This was a technical achievment. The camera can and does take superb shots. But like any piece of equipment, there is an audience and target user base. Perhaps a sports photographer may not be inclined to shoot with the system, but a portrait photographer would be thrilled with the results.
