Hi Philippe,
« 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. »
Concerning the Pro SLR line, well, as long as the R9 will be offered Leica
will have a Pro model to sell.
But future is digital, indeed.
Speaking of DSLR, yes, the DMR has been discontinued and that's a two-year
gap before the expected tape out of its successor... but let's say there are
no questions whether the R system will remain or not.
« 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. »
You just underlined the risk. People aren't shure to wait for Leica's
response to the market ; they may bet on Solms' 4/3 choice for its R10 and
consequently buy... Panies and Olies, envisaging to buy new Leica lenses
when commercialized but not a body.
