With an MP body and a crop sensor (no LCD needed as it would connect to Leica Fotos), I might buy this; although it would probably cost $8K, knowing Leica...

When you say film camera and digital camera all in one, do you mean it can take a film pic and a digital pic at the same time? The sensor space/area required for each would be the same, so the only way it would work would be if you removed the digital sensor back, and replaced it with a film back. It would seem to be the worst of both worlds, especially when you can buy a dedicated digital M for $2500 used with the M240. And a dedicated film M for $1500-$1800 with the M3. And take those with you instead of one camera with two separate backs. Also the M240 is full frame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMHO but I really can't envision much of a market for this type of a "Frankencanera." Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital quality is probably not going to get that much better than it is now; sort of like where cell phones are. To be able to change backs like that and switch from film to digital and back would be useful; no need to carry around two cameras. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already mentioned in post #4… That camera is so big, it would actually be smaller to carry around a film M and an M10 - full frame sensor! - than an R8 w the digital back and the spare film back.
