interesting comments ...... however, i'm looking at the long-term as a series of short terms, thats the way our world is today, from corporations needing to deleiver results quarterly to the digial world being a "throw-away and buy next generation".

In my for the R system to continue on being the top a few things need to happen, BUT the first is to deleiver the V 1.3 firmware. This is the deleiverable leica needs to do to show they can maintain the company in the fast paced digital world.

leica ofcourse is a long-term investment and i am a current R owner with the DMR, i want that investment to be "renewed" with a firmware that continues exploit the equipment to deliver the finest quality with ease of use.

At this time in my opinion why would there be an R10...Full Frame? - who cares ?.... and wouldn't that require a new back not an R10.. i do want focus confirmation but beleive that could be done with the R9...... can you really improve on the R9 ?
