[Leica] So - DMR or Nikon D700 and Leitax adapters?

Vick,

If you want a new do everything, latest cleaning features, and can endure 
the mirror slap, go with the D700, it is a wonderful machine.

If on the other hand you want a simple, easy to use and don't care about 
auto focus , but want fabulous lenses, and can deal with the extra weight of 
say a D3, then the R8/9 DMR is the way to go.  There are battery issues, but 
there are solutions out there with more coming.  Personaly, I'm in the R8DMR 
bunch, and love it.

Cheers,
Gene

I know Tina Manley got a new DRM recently.  Is it going well, with the DMR?

There is a DMR on the 'bay for sale, in Canada, and GAS urges are erupting 
again. 

But, is it better to get a Nikon D700 and a bag of Leitax adapters, than an 
R9 and DMR, in terms of image and file quality?  The crop factor doesn't 
bother me that much.  And I do own two Leica lenses that will be 
incompatible with the Nikon.  

But I perceive that the D700 will have better longevity than the DMR.  Is 
that a false perception?
