it looks like image stabilzation is in the lens - not the body, is there a reason most manufacturers are doing this ? -- olympus seems to put it in the body but most others don't.....

 

thanks

Rich,

 

My wild guess, nikon have a huge installed user base of un-stabalized lenses, putting this in the lens causes repeated sales.

 

Olympus have everything to gain, and have been good about making the system work even with older lenses.

 

Well, that is my guess anyway.

money seems the obvious answer... although i'm sure they'd tell me another reason... i'm a skeptic.

Stnami, I was just looking at this now, seems somewhat relevant also for R users.!

Not really. still a cropped sensor, too light and small to handle the lenses. The DMR, despite being cropped as well, still reigns.

Stmani, don't forget... 25mm front to sensor distance.. PLENTY room for a adapter for R and M lenses.

 

This could be interesting.. wonder who is first with a full-frame version of this.

 

.

 

that's the remaining hope, after the disappointment, reading the reviews of the X1:

X2 having an M-mount and... not a D300 sensor... but a...

D700 sensor :) :)

So the dials on top make sense: since every Leica lens has focus and aperture rings, the f:dial on the X1 could become ISO/exposure compensation.

 

LEICA could sell more 135, 90 and 75 bringing out new expensive models for the bokeh fans, who never stop down anyway.

(M9 batteries for it please, Dr. K.!)

Sorry, it does nothing for me.. if i wanted that body i'd buy a new dslr - I sorta don't get the market niche on this one.... but then i held an ep2 and found it annoying to handle.

 

I guess the idea is small(ish) camera with big(ish) sensor in different variations. I just sold my bulky DSLR to get get a small(ish) camera with big sensor. Now I have placed a order for X1 but NX10 is a bad competitor but comes out too late for my needs. Plus Leica is Leica in my opinion.

 

Cheers!
