I want a professional digital camera, with the very best objectives and a resolution about 12 MP. Can you tell me whether that exists? I know the Canon-camera with the resolution of 11 MP, but I don't like it. Do Leica have a digital camera? I would appreciate your answer. Kindly Maj Skibstrup.

There's no professional digital Leica camera yet. There is a 10MP back for the R8/R9 SLR in the pipeline sometime next year:

The only serious current contender to the Canon EOS 1Ds (that I know of) is the 14MP Kodak DCS 14n (Nikon mount/body).
