Well that was an interesting way to release the new Leica M10-R.  Have not seen a live worldwide presentation of a new camera like that before.  Leica MIGHT want to skip the unexpected guest part next time...  I did like the more horsepower part and the new model seems like a good move.

Thanks for making this available. jDD

Professional presenters are available to do this type of thing or even just to moderate. The 'guest appearance' was not really productive. As for the camera, it seems to be an M10 with a larger sensor output, still the same size. That is about it.

Whoever is responsible at Leica for marketing must have been banging his head against a wall or just died from heart-attack. How to tell the big boss to stay away from screen and look for other hobbies. Dear Mr Kaufmann, Steve Jobs is dead and you won’t become one.

I applaud Leica for staging a live stream of a product launch - particularly when none of the participants were native English speakers - but that didn't go very well.

The introduction regarding the history of the company was ok, but it went downhill after that. After saying that pixel count wasn't everything (I agree) all we were really told about the new camera was its pixel count. I wasn't expecting a full technical review, but I didn't see much that would persuade anyone to buy or upgrade what they already had.

Finally, if you're going to have a special guest, try and arrange to have someone who's enthusiastic about the brand. To be honest I found that segment embarrassing.

Again I applaud Leica for trying, but overall there seemed to be a lack of enthusiasm - and I'm not asking about the over the top presentation we sometimes see on consumer electronics' product launches.

Who would be the genius decided to put an S body on the tall table during an M presentation?

And not happy enough they put the M was on the lower table so they need to look at the floor while talking about it 😂😂

Agree, nothing made keynote presentations as SJ. How come they put an S body in the frame?? The best part is the guest saying that he wouldn’t get any LOL

Dreadful presentation.... 

Yeah was a bit dodgy.  Here is a famous person who seems to know nothing about Leica cameras.  Oooopsie.

Should have just been a good conversation with Stefan Daniel, as he knows his onions.

Yes, odd.  I can't be the only one who thinks Stefan Daniel looked positively embarrassed at times.

We are fortunate, I think, that they are professional businessmen rather than professional presenters :) 

I have met both of them and they are very nice people and I am sure that they are very good at their jobs. The key to success at anything is knowing ones own limitations and employing people with the necessary skillsets to carry out important tasks.

I find Stefan Daniel great at introducing new camera models.  His matter of fact manor is refreshing.  

This is still my fave interview!
