For starters they're starting off with much better wide angle glass than Canon from all I hear. And if the price point says anything. Much of it is in the electronics but it feels to me like a thing Leica can deal with at this point in time. I have confidence in Kaufmann and the fact that he's not working in a vacuum. In the sense that he's an owner of other optical companies and can bring a team together to solve new problems new ways. The Electronics end should be easier if the glass is on the exquisite Leica side of the track. Mark William Rabiner markrabiner.com
