Indeed; unfortunately, my old slide film standby was discontinued by those #%&@!$%^&*s in Rochester; but I just picked up a couple of rolls of the film I'll probably use as a replacement for a try, which is a stop faster with less grain.

As long as the color pallette is satisfactory, I'll still enjoy shooting slides with my LX's (albeit with the need to handle the film more carefully since it's E-6 film with the color dyes in it). What I would also like, however, is to have a digital SLR with the same format.

As for those who think the 14 megapixels of the K20D is "too much" and is a "disadvantage," I'll be happy to sell you my recently purchased K10D for the $700 I paid for it when the K20D shows up on the shelves of B&H.
