The link to the article posted above shows a camera that looks quite similar to the Fotoman "point and shoots". They're quite cheap ($800 for 4x5, $1300 for 8x10), sure beats $5000-9000 for the version in the article. I havent used the Fotoman cameras, or even seen them in person, but they look pretty slick on the web. There's also a write up in this month's Shutterbug magazine.

Badger and Midwest both carry them.
