[Leica] So most rumours came true?

Hi CREW,
With all this new stuff you lads are talking about and explaining how 
wonderful it will be using a Leica??????

I'm really surprised how any of us ever got decent photographs this past 60 
years?  I suppose, HCB, DDD and many many others of us were extremely lucky 
we ever got anything in proper focus without peeking? And our photographs 
are still revered today.

At one time it was offered, "if you gave 100 monkeys in a situation each a 
camera, some "might take or make some interesting images?" Now with all this 
new whiz bang stuff most of us can't afford the camera in any event! It wont 
require a 100 monkeys to take, maybe? A few interesting photographs? Or one? 
Because the instrument in hand, it seems, will only take one monkey with 
lots of money to buy one and the camera will be taking perfect pictures with 
out even knowing what's happening! Well maybe peeking??????? Peaking???

As in many earlier announcements about improvements etc.? Why not SAVE some 
of the comments until at least a couple hundred? machines are in the hands 
of everyday folks like ourselves to find out if all these dinky toy 
improvements actually give you better "CONTENT PHOTOGRAPHS?" Remember folks 
that is what photography is supposed to be all about!  "THE IMAGE CONTENT 
CAPTURED!" By the machine in our hands and and what "WE SEE!" Not the camera 
guts!!!

Just wondering in my usual state of confusion after being a photographer who 
"took the picture because it was what I saw in the viewfinder and little 
white lines?" CLICK!  Neat photo without a thought about what was inside the 
camera other than? "I did put film in it? Didn't I?"  Just wondering?

Your endearing thoughts most welcome. :-)
cheers,

Dr. ted :-)
