In theory I live in oakland - but over the past six months or so, I feel like i've been spending nearly half my time traveling back to boston for work (though, our company finally launched at RSA this week - so maybe things will slow down a bit, we'll see - though my guess is that they're still going to be crazy until some time this summer at the earliest).

And yah, I was disappointed when I saw the sizes of current sensors - so I think for the short term I may stay with film/negative scanning for my non-35mm-digital (5d) shooting. Stupid ccd sizes and yield counts and heat issues and and and....

Perhaps later in the year, after i start playing with 4x5 - i may start thinking about scanning backs, as well.
