in this discussion and request for new leica cameras, silent operation seems to have been ignored. there's tremendous advantage in most situations to the d2 in this regard. (and the d-lux 2). i would like to see more clamor for a d3. same lens, better sensor (higher iso capability), and better body build (does the lc1 really have a metal body while the d2 plastic?), faster raw. most estimates give the starting cost of the m8 5000 dollars. i want a d3 for under 2000. is anyone listening!
hope so,
wayne
ps. other advantages: true live view, no dust on sensor, no changing lenses. you work with what you've got.
