There were only 3 full frame sensors: Sony, Nikon and Canon, and it's hard to imagine any of the three would have given it to Leica. Also, 3 letters: CCD. A major part of the digital camera R&D is on the post processing software, and I am referring to getting the best RAW data out of the sensor, not the JPG engine and Leica's expertise (so far) is on CCD sensors. It would have taken them a lot longer to get a CMOS team going. Lastly, the M9 is not meant to be the best digital camera out there, just the best rangefinder digital camera, and that it succeeds, and arrived much earlier than most people expected. -- // richard <http://www.imagecraft.com/> // icc blog: <http://imagecraft.com/blog/> // photo blog: <http://www.5pmlight.com> [ For technical support on ImageCraft products, please include all previous replies in your msgs. ]
