[Leica] Leica doing the right things, plus Pentax Q

[zoeica at mac.com (Chris Williams)]

Personally I think with Canon and Nikon going through many production/ 
stock problems right now and Sony having  
"wedontknowwhichcameratoputout" problems, Leica should retake the  
photographic world. Here's the chance to regain that 40's, 50's & 60's  
pre SLR era!

Funny, do we really consider a APS size sensor small now? - Pentax Q.
