[LRFlex] Re: Leica on EOS 350D (also called Rebel digital XT in US)

That would be nice. It might tip the scale for me to go Canon rather than wait for Leica to get their act together long enough for a back to trickle down to the used market for me.

Hi Aram,

Thanks for the comments.

Yes - I must agree.. the viewfinders does look small.
And that might cause some serious focusing issues..

I heard rumours of a new model from Canon, something
between the 20D and their flagship. I wonder, will
they improve on the viewfinder .... well, I am
hoping...
