The DSLR production doldrums continue to plague camera sites.
So the barrel bottom scraping continues. Why doesn't Dpreview test
medium format? Car magazines test Ferraris, even though few will ever
own them.

....and you are desperate to bring more gloom and FUD to the World.

Since you mentioned car magazines, it would not surprise me to find you
providing a similar role in the auto/car groups, to the one you play
here.

Well, I agree. Consumer Reports tests high-end autos, so who not test
MF digital, like the Leica S2 and Hasselblad? I'd like to see some
fair comparisons between those units and the high-end FF stuff like
the Nikon D3x and Canon 1Ds III (or IV if it ever happens).

I would think that most who purchase the high end boxes do a lot of research
and testing on their own.
