I have posted a brief review of the F800 on my blog.

Was all working earlier, thanks for bring it to my attention. Getting my web host to look into it.

My blog is back online, although I am still having a few site issues.

Thanks for the review Alister, the F800 sounds and looks good! You mentioned that the flip image is convenient to use with a Pro35 adaptor but that adaptor has already built-in optical flip image capability so what is the point? I really wish some of those 35mm adapters gurus come out with a B4/35mm system with no optical flip module that is very light and compact. That would put 2/3" camera with digital flip image in an interesting segment of the market.

The Mini35C has no flip, although only available for 1/3" cams at the moment. I would be very surprised if we don't see a non flip relay lens version of the Pro35, which currently uses a B4 relay lens but with a flip prism.

Cool. I think Letus should really also have a shot at this. They have all hardware and technlogy knowledge to come out with something good and affordable.
