I have just received info that Leica will introduce 4 new products later september; Guess digital M and L1 are sure candidates but which could be the last two?

Any suggestions....

The wide tri-elmar (16, 19, 21) and the 28mm f2.8.

@JRC: Good guess

but the mail mentioned 4 new cameras...

Thry are still showing the Digilux 2 and D-Lux 2 on their web-site, both of which are essentially unavailable, so I'd expect two replacements to give them 3 P&S cameras, the L1 equivalent, the DMR and the M8 which I expect to be promoted as their flagship camera, not because the DMR is inferior but because the M8 is the new kid on the block.

D-Lux and C-Lux versions of Pany's latest. Any new Digiliux model would probably depend on a new 2/3" sensor and I think that size sensor may have fallen through the cracks into history.

D-Lux 3 (definitely)

imported_leicaiste · 09/08/06, 11:28 PM

M8, Digilux 3, Dlux 3 and Vlux.

@Lucien: I'm a great fan of your suggestion. September 15. we're all much more wise...

Just wait and see... what's the big deal?
I just don't get it.

Cheers,

I'd be surprised if they dropped the Digilux name which has at least acquired some brand value.

ptomsu · 09/10/06, 07:49 AM

M8, Tri Elmar, 2,8/28/ASPH, Dlux3

No Leica version of L1 I think!
