I just got back from the first night of the LHSA Spring Shoot here in New Orleans. I was able to see a working DMR, sweet. When I got back I had an email from a photography friend up in NY. There seems to be a new Leica/Panasonic M camera. I say M because it shows removable lenses! The photo shows a camera kind of Panasonic LC-1 looking except with a 50mm/1.4 Summilux lens on it! I thought for sure it was fake, but this seems pretty real as the images are of a prototype behind glass. No PS work here. There is no "red dot" on the camera, it looks more Panasonic than anything else. I can read 10mp on the left hand side. When and where did this camera get shown? Guess the Japanese get everything first, always a day ahead of us. Maybe I should wait and not get an Epson RD-1. Pics here, sorry I had problems translating the text. I tried to download it in English, but it did not work to well. http://www.zoeicaimages.com/html/untitled251.html Chris New Orleans _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
