I was glad to see that Puts constructed valid test procedures and covered the issues in an objective way. I remain skeptical about the hybrid approach that Leica has chosen for the DMR, even if some of the criticisms that Puts put forth are somewhat questionable; the brightness of the viewfinder in a dSLR is typically determined in the same way as for an SLR, nor will the image on the display be the same as in the viewfinder. These are accepted limitations for those preferring the dSLR approach to the EVF approach. The article's most damning comments seem to be the state and rate of development at Leica. One can't start a race several laps behind the leaders in a slower vehicle and expect to be competitive. There is almost no chance that Leica will produce a digital product that is competitive with the best available products. As there is at least the appearance of collaboration with Panasonic through the Lumix line of cameras, I don't understand why Leica doesn't fully partner with that company to produce a digital body that accepts R lenses. Thanks for presenting this page! BTW - I noticed that links to Puts' other pages appear to be broken. Is that your experience as well?
