On the www.zeiss.de website (English version). Go to the "Photography" then the "Photokina 2004" pages. They say they are "Back With Passion" and talk about their solution to a "flexible camera system with perfect optics". They will have an ex&le on the web page on 5 September. They also say they will have lots of innovations at Photokina and "Prepare to be astounded." Digial/film modular SLR? Contax? Hassleblad? Rollei? or Zeiss brand name? Wait and see.

OK, they have a "puzzle picture" in the "Back With Passion" article. I say Zeiss is coming out with a digital rangefinder ... I'm betting with interchangeable lenses, since they mention a flexible solution.
I'm going to get no sleep these coming days until they let the cat out ... grrrr!

That's been their entry for several weeks. I believe Digital Viewfinder Cameras are the point & shooters. Also they consider the 645 as a Digital SLR in their product website, but I'm crossing my fingers ...
One nice thing to note is that although Kyocera has completely disinherited, disavowed and buried the N Digital (talk about a neglectful and irresponsible a.k.a. deadbeat parent!), Zeiss shows it prominently among its N lens brethren.
Thank you, Carl Zeiss.
