[LRflex] Re: Erwin Puts on the DM-R

G'Mornin' Steve!

Yes, it is a less than enthusiastic piece from a staunch Leica supporter.=
  But, I suspect a very fair assessment.

If Leica are to survive in bodies, then need both the Md and R-10d very=
 quickly.  The hybrid approach entials too much duplication to make their=
 SLR's competitive.

That combined with comments from others 'in the know' that Canon's goal is=
 to move to an all full-frame sensor line-up as quickly as they can, means=
 (a) I need not throw away my 21SA just yet, and (b) Leica has one more=
 cause to worry.

I hope they can sell enough DM-R's to at least break even on what has been,=
 for them, a massive investment, and that they can then put the technology=
 learned into the fabled R10d.

Cheers!
David.
