Hope this is true. The perfect fishing, hiking, mountaineering and kayaking camera. Its really strange that no-one has made this camera (except the Nikon tiny-sensor thing).

 

I assume that the lens and IQ will be at least as good as the current X113, but hoping for a 24Mp sensor.

As Leica is re-using the 113 type number I suppose it will be exactly like the X (Typ 113).

What do you expect from a camera that you're supposed to toss into the next river?

 

Well, Nikon can make a decent looking underwater camera (same spec: up to 15m), but I guess this is too much to ask from Leica...

 

I don't want to spoil other people's party. I am sure, this will fett the needs of some folks out there and I am sure that some of these folks are actually able and wiling to spend 3k on a fixed focal length camera. 

 

But it needs to be said that this is a very small niche and we are moving (very away) away from "focusing on the essential".

x113 for underwater at $3000+? Rather get something else with an underwater house, although it does still do manual focus underwater... 

 

Puts it out of the outdoors market where rough handling and water resistance is sufficient.

 

I think I will invest in a plastic bag and GH-3 hood for my Ricoh GR.
