Jan1985 Posted June 25, 2019 Share #204 Posted June 25, 2019 You can not compare a Camera with an DSLR Design with a Mirrorless Camera in Terms of Dimensions. That's obsolete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
helged Posted June 25, 2019 Share #205 Posted June 25, 2019 What matters - I believe - is the overall balance of the system. A small and/or thin body with a large and/or front-heavy lens feels clumsy. A prime example from Leica-land is the CL+SL90-280mm... Actually, I prefer the size and grip of the the S-body - and the handhold balance of the S-body+S-lenses - over any of the other camera systems I have used. Clearly, the size of the S-grip may not be the best for smaller hands, but I get the feeling of holding a well-constructed instrument every time I pick up the S... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgrayson3 Posted June 25, 2019 Share #208 Posted June 25, 2019 My point was only that mirrorless doesn't necessarily imply small and thin. It only allows it. I shoot with an X1D for precisely the reason shown above. I prefer the S in every other way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterv Posted June 25, 2019 Share #216 Posted June 25, 2019 So greybear, are you suggesting there might not be an S3? I feel pretty confident that there will be an S3 eventually, but what do I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not buy products from a company when I am not comfortable about their long-term sustainability. I am certain about Leica, but not Hasselblad today. I will let the next three years prove whether Hasselblad will make it. The price is probably too low, but this may be due to pressure for fast results. I like to buy something and then stay with it for a long time. I went through this evaluation when I decided on the S in 2016. I had some problems and Leica has taken care of me. Consequently I have continued to add to my S system. If I were interested in evf, which I am not, Fujifilm is leading the market and is financially stable. This sky-is-falling fear about Leica’s job losses (and additions) is a very small matter except for the individuals who are losing their jobs. Work rules in Germany make it a better place to lose a job than in other countries. It shows that Leica management is thinking ahead. Time will tell how well the company adapts to changing conditions. Edited June 25, 2019 by djmay 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted June 25, 2019 Share #218 Posted June 25, 2019 Forgetting about Leica as a whole, I’ll be surprised if there’s an S4, at least in its current design configuration. The R comes to mind. But Leica can often surprise. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
