For some weeks now, I have been hearing rumours that Leica will
abandon the 4/3rds format for their dSLRs. This does not make sense
to me, as the Digilux cameras are made by Panasonic, and they are
firmly in the 4/3rds camp, being closely aligned with Olympus.
I think this rumour comes from the fact that the coming R10 will not
be 4/3rds, but then nobody ever thought it would be. The only
question is whether the R10 will be a full frame, or a 1.33 crop
factor, like the M8.
There is a new interview with Andreas Kaufmann, which seems to
confirm what we already suspect - that the R10 will have AF lenses,
and that it will not be 4/3rds format. As for the rest, well, read it
for yourself, and draw your own conclusions...
