fotografr Posted August 3, 2006 Share #1 Posted August 3, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) In an apparent acknowledgement that most of their M customer base are geezers who have become accustomed to a particular style of equipment, Leica have reverted to a yesteryear design for the new M8. It will now have a full 8x10 size sensor that will produce full 1 gig images in RAW capture. This is the first production model which has been fully field tested by 92 year old Hans Krueger, who says everything looks great on the camera monitor but since he doesn't yet own a computer the full test results will be not be available for a few months.

tuna Posted August 3, 2006 Share #4 Posted August 3, 2006 You have scooped everyone! I am rushing out now to pre-order one of those beauties. I expect this means the camera will also accomodate the new paperback-book sized, 1000Gig memory cards? Tuna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_drabek Posted August 4, 2006 Share #12 Posted August 4, 2006 As you will notice, this photographer has learned to shoot from the hip, so as not to draw attention to himself while catching the decisive moment. DD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flatfour Posted August 4, 2006 Share #15 Posted August 4, 2006 I know this guy. His name is Karl Dumkopf. In fact he is only 35 years old but lugging around a Hassy and lenses for 15 years has aged him somewhat.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted August 4, 2006 Share #20 Posted August 4, 2006 Is Leica likely to supply a proprietary double-bed throw rug - as shown - for the rear of the camera (with a nice Red Dot pattern perhaps?) or will a standard-sized window drape be compatible with this camera? And is Billingham likely to bring out a bag big enough to take the M8 plus drape I wonder ... ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
