I DON'T mind an ugly camera - it is meant to be seen through the VF. And w=
hat matters most is :
a) ergonomics (not tiptop on R4-7 , way better on R8, simply some dials mi=
ght be considered on the other side of the camera Contax 139 was perfect i=
n that respect.)
=
b) viewfinder (SL is a reference but R8/9 are OK) =
=22Lighteable=22 frames as in the D200 are a plus plus. =
c) resilience - time and load (cross your fingers with electronics) - wate=
r/damp protection
d) picture quality - now linked to sensor and software, this is where Leic=
a had better get it perfect first time ...
The way it looks is negligible for me. Would there be flowers painted on i=
t as on a VW camper I'd be delighted too (wink).
Yours
