salvatore Posted January 22, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted January 22, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) This is a question for all of the tech experts in the forum. I cannot afford an M8 system, but I would love to have a very small camera system with 3-4 good primes and a bright viewfinder, a kind of Leica CL of the digital age. Olympus and their 4/3s system promise small cameras and small lenses but, in my modest opinion, their size in practice is not smaller than other camera makers (N&C). Mike Johnston wrote an old post in his blog (http://theonlinephotographer.blogspot.com) about his wishes for a DMD (decisive moment camera). So, could be technically done a camera like this??? Â Â PS: sorry for my bad english, its not my languaje. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrique Santa Posted January 24, 2007 Share #3  Posted January 24, 2007 Hola Salvatore. This is an old dicussion here, and sure ...is posible. You have a very good first step with Digilux 2. Put a 4/3 sensor in this cam and you´ll have your digi-CL. Look at the size of Oly E400 and you´ll understand that a compact cam with a good sensor is posible.  Si Leica no lo hace otros lo haran......mira la Sigma d14 (creo)  Saludos Salvatore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Posted January 24, 2007 Share #4  Posted January 24, 2007 ultimately its a question of fitting the sensor to lenses you already have, or starting again, with a digital system and making the lenses and the sensor match  with the M glass Leica made the best compromise with other systems populated with retrofit 35mm glass im not so sure much of it is a quality deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carstenw Posted January 24, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted January 24, 2007 The Sigma has a fixed lens, and a 28mm f/4 at that, which to me makes not terribly desirable. Such a camera with a Summicron 28 Asph would be awesome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Posted January 24, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted January 24, 2007 yeah, what are they thinking it might be ok IF it has extraordinary high iso ability it looks like the sort of camera that is quite robust Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley Posted January 24, 2007 Share #8 Â Posted January 24, 2007 its an APS C sensor and the opposite of low Bokeh which can be manipulated with adequate glass is deeper DoF, which can be more usefull Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
