It seems possible the sensor works on the "mind over matter" principle. Much more sophisticated than say believing in Tinkerbelle. Kind of like going to an amusement park. You pay 50 bucks and just taking a drink out of the water fountain seems hysterically wonderful. Somebody though is going to compare results with full frame and medium format. I think its a shell game they're really going up against full frame. But they are saying they are going up against medium format so you're not paying attention to that. - people go " well maybe its not as good as medium format but I'll get it instead of a full frame. (full frame meaning 24x36mm) -------------------- Mark William Rabiner > From: Steve Barbour <steve.barbour at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Fri, 20 May 2011 08:45:49 -0700 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: [Leica] Well, the S2 now looks like a bargain... > >> <http://www.dpreview.com/news/1105/11052010sigmasd1.asp> > > > well jump on the bandwagon Sigma, > > > much like Leica, the logic is that if it's hard to sell a moderate in price > camera, why bother, make it an over the top, super expensive super camera > for > true professionals, slap a ridiculous price on it, and it will sell... > > maybe yes, maybe no, > > we'll see... > > (in the meantime, I guess you need an outfit that costs $20k $30k $40k to > take a good "professional" photograph) > > > Steve > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
