I think producing this camera with a Leica R mount (and M mount too if possible) would be an excellent extension of the Leica / Fuji cooperation. If they make enough of them of course the price will also come down - into the Leica range we are all used to. :) >Fuji Trumps Everyone.. >- Las Vegas, Nevada - Fuji Photo Film U.S.A. Inc. today announces the new Fujifilm FinePix S1 Pro Digital Camera, the first digital SLR camera incorporating Fujifilm's new Super CCD image sensor technology The FinePix S1 Pro has a 1.1 inch Super CCD sensor that delivers a 6.1 million pixels (3040 x 2016) image. It uses a Nikon F lens mount and has continuous shooting of approximately 1.5 frames/second up to five frames, adjustable ISO equivalents of 320/400/800/1600, a shutter speed of 30 to 1/2000 second and compatibility with SmartMedia (up to 64MB), CompactFlash (Card Type II) and the IBM microdrive. The FinePix S1 will ship in the first half of the year at a price "under $4,000." I wonder if there is any chance of seeing a Leica model of the S1 at the autumn camera shows. Makes one think, Hmmmm? Cheers Howard Cummer.
