Sorry Nicolas,
=
Leica no longer has a pro SLR line to sell - the DMR has been discontinued=
- the Dig3 is in no way a camera for pros in spite of its proven qualitie=
s. which pros shot film?
This, will make it a 2 years' gap if the R10 is really out in Nov 2008, wh=
ich might answer Douglas's (Sharp) remark on reviving a =22dead line or br=
and.
quote: Would they go for an R10 if they can use their lenses on the Oly Pr=
o-model you told us about?
Depends on what Leica has to offer then ... I might, if I haven't sold all=
my stuff to go Nikon as many people on other Leica lists have - even if t=
hey've kept their Ms and/or bought an M8.
A warning : I never said the 4/3 format should/would/will be used on the R=
10 and is the panacea. =
It simply makes sense to me that they've spent money knowingly on developi=
ng it and it would be quite consistent to use this investment as a platfro=
m to get higher, faster.
=
I guess sensors will definitely have improved by 2008 and will continue to=
do so for later Rs ( for instance think today that some brand gets 14mpix=
els in three layers with the same sensor size), and I think that Leica wou=
ld never be developing their new line in 4/3 mount if thy where not trying=
to gather experience from it (with backing from Oly and Pana BTW).
I was just trying to connect information and get a coherent view of what t=
hey are after, taking their past and present know-how, current and potenti=
al customer bases into account, and crossing my fingers that I will some d=
ay have the same feeling for a DSLR as I had with my first Leica - not yet=
available whatever the brand I've looked at so far.
Yours
