Well a "clue" may not be good enough. Almost two years after the demise of the DMR current R users who would like to go digital actually would like to be able to BUY a successor solution... obviously with full compatibility towards existing R lenses thus protecting the biggest investment R users have made over the years.

Yes, ofcourse and R10.....and i would bet an R11 one day to.

 

however the R10 might not what you exepect -- remember things can't get better unless you're willing to change ...... ofcourse they can get worse to.....

Why would a company with a small customer base dismiss or reject a large group of existing owners who would probably want to upgrade?

 

Being unable to see how it could turn a worthwhile profit from those owners might be one good reason not to continue with the 'R10' project. That said, doesn't the recently published interview with Kaufmann pretty much confirm that there will be something new for R users later this year?

Well R members aren't typically young and aren't getting any younger (me included). How long can they really wait? Announce this fall but release when? 2009? 2010? Later? Without getting into marketing and secrecy issues I think it would be much smarter for Leica to give us a timeline.

 

I love my DMR and respect the quality it gives me but Leica and SLR are becoming "cart and horse" to the camera world.

Hopefully whatever they do wont bankrupt them like th m8 must have come close to, before they fix my film camera.

Actually they were virtually bankrupt before the M8 and the M8 saved them (and Mr.K.;))
