The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

...it still looks good and that's what counts, just like that red logo thingie on cameras anyway iPhone's lack of 3G connectivity will make its uses limited here

do you think the new pani will use the current D lenses? is that the case, i hope thay make a small lense to come with the new small body.

 

And I dont understand why leica/pana want to make so many telephoto lenses when olympus a sigma has so many of them.

Patents found yesterday suggest

LiveView

8 AF points

LOL

Why would anyone buy a Four-Thirds sensor camera when any APS-C DSLR has a significantly larger sensor, thus larger pixels per same pixel count, with inherently greater dynamic range and a better S/N ratio? A Nikon D40X with its superb new 18-55mm lens or a Sony Alpha with its great range of Carl Zeiss glass is a far better choice in the same price range. Twenty-five hundred for a D3 like looking through a straw? No thanks. I'll keep my D2 (and D200).

 

You can have all the specification in the world but the proof is in what comes out of the printer. The D3 provides very sharp accurate images, which hold up to substantial enlargement. I can see nothing on the market at this level which could do a better job, regardless of chip size.

Quite simple really.

 

Olympus IS in in the body and Sigma 4:3 lenses have no IS.

The Leica/Panasonic lenses are IS in lens.

Maybe the future digilux cameras might also feature in-body IS...? after a lot of the digilux and L camera technology comes from Olympus in the first place, meaning that a future Digilux might very well be somewhat related to current and future Olympus technology...? Maybe putting out the in-lens IS leses was a solution to deliver a technology now rather than later..?

I now have an E-500 and an E-330. An imminent and huge-ish price drop on the L1 would be wonderful, 'cause then I could get one of those with the IS lens. This would be kewl.

 

There is nothing, NOTHING wrong with Four Thirds. I love these little SLRs.

By the way, I was shooting pix at a party last week, and a Nikon owner came up to me and said (regarding the E-500), "Man that thing is quiet. I was listening for it and barely heard it!"

 

Compared to my old Contax 167MT, it is amazingly quiet.

 

Well there is everything wrong with 4/3 and BTW you are comparing appleas and tomatoes :-))))

Just a couple of days left … early next week, I suppose. As far as I know, the price tag will be higher than some people here expected.

If you don’t know, you weren’t invited … ;-) There may have been a press event on July 17, but obviously that wasn’t also the embargo date.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[doctorlol]

I have just spoken with MK Leica in the UK. The offer is £585 reduction on the price of a new Digilux 3. Not as Chris stated, that one could purchase a new one for $850, wishful thinking. My 'bust ccd' Digilux 2 will now go to MK to be tested and if it is the CCD, then it will be sent to the factory in Japan to be reassembled. The part cannot just be replaced! The time quoted was several months! So I now have my R8, as a museum piece, and my little D-Lux 3. The news on the R10, is - don't hold your breath. Is Leica a busted flush as the R-glass may not be compatible with any future R camera?

Umm... If you can put R glass on the Four Thirds system cameras and on Canons for Pete's sake, why the frak would it be a "busted flush", as you put it? Even if Leica makes an auto focus R, which they should have done years ago, no one is saying you couldn't put your old lenses on it.
