Leica are being very quiet about the details of what is intended. However big hints have been dropped about new M and R range models at Photokina 2008 together with an "X'. What that could be is anybody's guess.

I'd be one of the first to line up for such a release. Or even a real update of the Digilux 2 using the same form factor.

I have used a Digilux 2 during some time, great camera !!!

What about a Caplio GX 100 or a GR Digital ""a la Leica" ?

Absolutely, as I keep on saying ad nauseum, these are the camreras that Leica should have produced if they were an innovative company and had the R&D funds. And don't forget the Leica D-Lux 3, which is also a fine camera. Here's a D-Lux 3 picture, followd by one taken with the GR-D and another with the GX100:

If they've been listening, then Leica would have heard GRD and Digital CM mentioned in the same threads, posts and sentences for a year now, or is it two. Nice touch if Ricoh named their new 40mm converter CM-1.

Leica D-Lux 3 is probably the closest you will get to a CM Zoom. Not as simple, but it has many great qualities. Very loveable with the brown leather thing around it.

I would give my eye teeth to see a digital CM, we're all still waiting to see if the Sigma DP1 ever comes out. But in the meantime my film CM will have to do. Still, every time this topic comes up we all say much the same things and Mitch wheels his photos out again

[malland]

That's because I'm waiting to see your's, Nathan. Also, because I think that photography is mainly about the pictures, not the equipment.

No doubt D-Lux3 is a fine camera but I am frustrated by the lack of a viewfinder.

I prefer using the LCD rather than a viewfinder because it facilities a "looser", more fluid shooting style.

Interesting viewpoint. I think its a real shame they didn't offer the same type of LCD that you get on the better Canon models, so you can flip it out and use it like a WLF.

OK, but I prefer very much to have a "contact" with my camera.
