120fps (you want a multiple of 30).

 

Oh, and there is no shutter button, because the camera is always shooting.

 

If you find a nice subject, then you just take note of the time and pick the frame you like best later, when you download the pictures.

You can't miss the decisive moment, if you capture all moments.

 

No.. there is a shutter button. There can be couple of modes...

Non-cloud mode: Simply records time and place for further retrieval

Cloud mode: Sends stack of frames around the time to the cloud. I am assuming that in 500mp, 120fps world there will be cloud everywhere.

Feeling mode: Using the data from bio-metric sensors from your smart watch, it will record whether you are feeling  :)   :D  :(  :angry:  :huh:  :o  :rolleyes:  :wub:  :unsure:  :ph34r: 

 

And the camera will sync with other cameras in the area to give you real 3D immersive pictures that you can use in your virtual reality viewer later.

Ultimately Leica must move beyond the optical viewfinder. I think we all know that in our hearts.

 

Looking back to the introduction of the M8, I am deeply impressed at how Leica has moved forward

through the historical resistance, sludge, backwater of their heritage. Leica must be employing

some true heavy-weight engineers we know nothing of. Perhaps we will learn of them. After all, lenses

are not everything, especially now that the awesomely ugly Karbe editions have been released.

 

Pico, please pardon my ignorance, but what's wrong with Mr. Karbe's designs?

Pardon my jumping in here. Some think, in trying to make "the perfect lens," Karbe's lenses tend to be somewhat "clinical," especially in OOF rendering (e.g., Cron 75mm ASPH, Lux 35mm ASPH FLE). This was a fairly common observation when some folks were getting used to the original M monochrom and favored pre-Karbe lenses (e.g., designed by Mandler, Watz). Of course, this is all pretty subjective, so we're lucky to have so many darn great choices in terms of Leica lenses and their varied characters.

Leica kept the name "Visoflex" for its rebadged EVF but the real thing is slightly different.
