We need to learn to see not what's OUTSIDE the box We need to learn to see not what's INSIDE the box Me I'm putting it in writing right here that I think its a full frame compact Leica. The Leica X series has been put in a shadow by the Sony full frame compact NEX RX1. This is not a position Leica is going to let itself be in very long. They are going to keep the X series a 1.5 crop and come up with a new series for the full frame. Perhaps the Y series! Then we have Leica X Y chromosomes and coordinates both! To me this is history which just had not gotten around to happening yet. And will happy July whatever. If we were sitting around a table with our cameras stacked in the middle with a pitcher of beer and a pizza it would be less of a deal as its just blowing off words. But this is words in writing on the LUG. And in the release date I'm looking forward to doing an "I told you so" thing. In the least annoying way possible of course. And starting to save up for one. As far as price point goes the X2 goes for 2 grand The NEX RX1 goes fro three grand. I think the Leica full frame compact Y Chromosome might go for $3,400.9 USD. It would not be seemly for them to undercut Sony. If its interchanble glass it could go for 4 grand. In other words; a lot more than the bulk of us are going to spend with our toy cameras are just great mentality.
