I don't think Leica will be able to guarantee a life as long as we are used to from Leica anologue equipment. If they offer an upgrade service for the electronics/sensors/software/hardware whatever, we may have a good lease of life for a digital camera. Up to now other companies have been changing soft and hardware in leaps and bounds, in time for the PMA or Photokina. Douglas B. D.
