Q1 Leica results

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

Leica's Q1 results are posted at dpreview.com. Rather interesting - especially the comments on digital cameras. Personally, I'd buy a digital M6 at almost any resolution (well, at least 2Mpixels) if it felt the same as my film M6s. Just the fact that it'd be a rangefinder would be appealing. I think the megapixel issue is often given too much emphasis - like Mhz in processors. Of course, my output is often the web - dingoboy - so my perspective is a little skewed.

WHAT spinoff of Minox?

After reading the report, it doesn't look to me like a digital M6 is anywhere in the offing. I expect to see rebadged Japanese digital compact cameras.

Bill: I THINK Leica spun off all or part of Minox to the managers - I don't have the main Leica germany web page bookmarked on this computer, but if YOU do, check their press releases.
