Agreed. Agreed. Agreed.
And let me toss an Economics Argument on the fire:
If the camera carries a price in the vicinity of Forty Five Hundred American
Dollars - which is halfway between an X1 and an M9 - then Leica has just said
buy a small sensored lashed together piece o kit with non-slr handling and no
slr viewfinder -OR- slide over to B&H and get a FF real slr by Nikon or Canon
and still have a thousand dollars or more left to pickup a decent C or N lens
for the times when af comes in handy.
