Mr.Prime Posted March 9, 2020 Share #41 Posted March 9, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) When I look at my kids generation I realize that they will find their iphone pro-11's will meet 99% of their photographic needs. It would be a very brave CEO to direct their camera company to compete with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Hi Mr.Prime, Take a look here Demise of the CL?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted March 9, 2020 Share #42 Posted March 9, 2020 Yes the iPhone 11pro is quite impressive. But when I compare 10x images from my phone with tele shots from my CL with long R glass there is a vast quality difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting idea but just like a car I suspect that they would want cameras back in pristine condition or would levy a charge. I'll stick to buying.

I tried it against the CL and 55-135 . No contest, it only proves that smartphones have not caught up by a wide margin. If the kids have a photographic bone in their body, they will use the phone at what it is good at: a notebook for social media, and take a camera - any camera for photography. https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/307286-cl-vs-iphone11pro/ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...] Problem is would they (or their parents) buy an expensive fixed prime camera if they have an iphone already. CL is another story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted March 9, 2020 Share #50 Posted March 9, 2020 Well, we have those: The TL was designed to be attractive on the smartphone market by virtue of its interface and Leica did go into cooperation with Huawei. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to pay a subscription to use the previous model.😎 I remember a friend that didn't know shite about photography kept telling me my pictures were better because I had a better camera. Many that never used film consider FF cameras the pro camera, providing superior results (although that is changing). You'd be surprised how many people buy cameras based on talking points developed by manufacturers as their purchasing guide. Well if that's how it works, we all should throw in the towel, sell our cameras and save ourselves a lifetime of frustration. The Hubble Space Telescope has the best camera EVER.

Probably going to be able to buy Hubble off the 'bay for half what it cost to make it and maintain it. Which would be [...] $2.85 billion. Bargain!

I fully expect Leica to offer the Hubble S3 limited edition, with the Hubble converted to the S mount. Priced at $2.85 billion + $25,000 for the limited edition S3 body, the bidding war that will ensue for this one of one S3 set will be beyond fierce. This masterpiece will be the ultimate setup for sports and wildlife photography. Edited March 10, 2020 by Herr Barnack 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdHox Posted March 11, 2020 Share #57 Posted March 11, 2020 I'm happy if the CL remains on the market as is. I'm happier if the CL2 is released, assuming it has the improvements I want. Just take my money! Not so happy if it has the wrong improvements. Not happy Jan if the CL is withdrawn without replacement. At this stage I'm still happy, as the CL has not been withdrawn..
