Good Mornin' Phil!
I'm not sure I agree with you, about the size of the R7. As you know,
I've owned the R5 and 6 as well as the R8 & 9. While I loved the
R8/9, I also loved the R5 and 6. I use Rose's K10d, which is smaller
than any "R" camera, and even with my big mitts, the controls are
quite workable.
Sorry David, I meant location and size of the switches/buttons is at
stake, not size in itself - Alice's E400, and my daughter's E410 are
simply too good to handle while lightweight, and efficient. What I mean
is the ergonomics . <>Contax had had Porsche work on their bodies, and
it showed and could be felt. I'll always miss that. Even with the R8
which is far better than previous Rs in so many respects even if it is
bulkier.
If I had a choice between R7 and R9 sized bodies, I'd go for the R7 size
... providing the finder was at R8/9 quality levels. Something I'm
pretty sure the Leica will manage.
As for an electronic finder in a coming R camera ... I don't think
you'll see such a thing for many a year.
Whose nose?
Cheers!
