Dear Happy Mac: you have made our day, and rewarded us for checking the site 10 times each day to see if such a new development has occured. Thank you.

Okay that I buy as real. LOL

guy_mancuso · 09/12/06, 08:58 PM

Geez kind of a let down. i wanted some tall 6 Ft gorgeous leica lady with long blonde hair dressed in a red leica dot dress holding it in her hand for the unveiling. Instead we get some ugly guy, and all these months for the announcement and we get this . Yuk!!!

at least the camera looks hot. LOL

IcemanYQQ · 09/12/06, 09:19 PM

OK, now I really want one

a beautiful woman holding a M8... that type of advertising would definitely turn off a professional cameraman because it's the photog shooting the model pictures not the other way around.

Yes, but look what he says about availability...

"...Impossible évidement de récupérer les photos réalisées avec cet exemplaire : le firmware n'étant pas définitif (c'était la même chose avec le petit Canon EOS 400D quelques jours plus tôt). Il faudra donc attendre quelques mois encore, avant de juger de la qualité des images de l'appareil allemand..."

uhmn ok the only word i can read from there is "impossible"

care to translate?

leicanewbie · 09/13/06, 08:53 AM

Hmmm ..... looking at the image which shows the LCD picture review, I think they've found Osama.

Although I could just about follow the text, my French is now very rusty, so here is what passes for a translation by Babelfish -

!!

Impossible [cavity] to recover the photographs carried out with this specimen: firmware not being final (it was the same thing with small [Gun = Canon] EOS 400D a few days earlier). It will thus be necessary to still wait a few months, before judging quality of the images of the German apparatus... "

marknorton · 09/13/06, 09:03 AM

With apologies to Pascal...

Here's my effort instead... (our posts crossd)...

"Apparently impossible to recover the photos taken with this example: the firmware wasn't finalised (same thing with the little Canon EOS 400D a few days later). It'll be necessary therefore to wait for a few months more before judging the image quality of the German camera..."

pascal_meheut · 09/13/06, 09:49 AM

No apologies needed, your translation is correct. I'd translate "évidemment" as "obviously" rather than "apparently" but that's all.

guy_mancuso · 09/13/06, 07:52 PM

Mark i don't think you will be waiting for test images. LOL

I know you are standing at the door of your favorite photo shop waiting to get one. LOL

When I put my name on the list at my dealer, they suggested I try the R-D1 to get a flavour of what the M8 will deliver in spades. I've very much enjoyed the R-D1 with my Leica glass this summer and I expect the M8 to move the game on hugely.

I also desparately want to see Leica survive as an independent camera manufacturer. I visited Solms just yesterday, a car park filled to bursting which hints at just how busy they are, but in the reception, an area of calm, a wall of Leica history and a shop displaying the world's greatest cameras and lenses. A section through a Tri-Elmar and an M7 with the top removed to show the exquisite engineering.

This has to be worth supporting. I've no doubt at all that Leica will exceed my expectations of the camera.

"... firmware not being final..."

Also seems no SD door yet so I think it is meant for tethered operation.
