OpenRAW

Let's make with the consumer power then!
I've got $1500.00 burning a hole in my pocket, I'm finally ready to go digital, and I'm not alone.
Which manufacturer(s) should we support because they are doing it right? Or will we have to wait until one of them wants our money bad enough? Please recommend some great models too.
Highest possible resolution and precision color are of the utmost importance to us, but equipment that denies us permanent unfettered RAW access to our work and denies realization of its own advertised potential will never be bought!
