any news on contax tvs digital yet?

at the last photokina contax announced a new tvs digital. a 5mp titanium bodied compact camera... At least it looks promissing to me! I have been looking around everywere at the net to find more info on it then just the specs given by contax/kyocera... A (p)review would be nice... how good is picture quality? is it fast enough? does it really keep up its promiss being a prosumer high end camera? does it have the same noice problems facing the other 5mp bunch; that kind of practical info is most welkom... any body seen this camera working anywhere? Test pics would be more then great... (It is supposed to hit the selves this month....)

TIA

nobody seen anything on the contax tvs digital.

got a very short answer from kamera-express when asked for the picture quality: "very good"....

Now that leaves open a lot of questions and answers does it not?

This cam will prob be about 1400 bucks. In typical Contax fashion it'll be way overpriced. Would you buy at that price? I know I wouldn't.

it is indicated for € 920 at http://www.kamera-express.nl ... so including a SD card 256 mb it will be around €1200 and that is cheaper then a g3 with memory...

at € 1400 without the sd card it would be way out of bounce, but for 920? worth considering.... although it has to compete ( in my case the portability is important) with the s45 € 200 cheaper and able to swallow microdrives...

I do have some experience with high end film compacts from Nikon and Leica and I have never regretted the extra guilder invested in them... (although the Nikon 35 ti broke down on me recently beyond repair :-(()but these little marvals were able to convince me that they had extra qualities worth paying for. The reason I would like to learn more about the contax is just that: I have to be convinced it is worth the extra dollar...
