vicpeh Posted June 9, 2009 Share #21 Â Posted June 9, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I still wonder if Leica have any further interest in the FourThirds/Panasonic tie-up. Panasonic hinted a while back that they did, I seem to remember, but I don't recall Leica themselves saying anything recently. Â Hope that Leica will use a 43 sized sensor on the DLux 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

offshore Posted June 9, 2009 Share #22  Posted June 9, 2009 Olympus Micro Four Thirds camera resembles 1959 'Pen' news - Amateur Photographer - news, camera reviews, lens reviews, camera equipment guides, photography courses, competitions, photography forums This might be of interest to some. Still just a rumour at the moment, but an Oly micro4/3rds camera is officially only "weeks" away according to the Olympus website. Don't know if this has been posted here yet but here's a link to another Japanese website reg the Oly ¹ØÓÚOLYMPUSµÄM4/3»úE-P1 - ÎÞ¼ÉÂÛ̳. Leica has stated unofficially (Leica reps/Oly reps) that they are having nothing more to do with 4/3's and that they eventually want to break away from Panasonic and become a German company again. It will be interesting to see if they can do that given the royaties they must be collecting from Panasonic to use the Leica name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted June 9, 2009 Share #23 Â Posted June 9, 2009 A retro style digicam, albeit with interchangeable lenses. Â No optical finder - hot shoe so OK you can add a finder but then its not so compact......isn't a G1 more practical if M43 is the way you want to go? Â Not very exciting for me anyway.
