Hello, looks like 35mmFF is not big enough.

Sep 22, 2008

Leica have a dSLR with a bigger sensor.

And why not?

Personally, when Oly were first looking at the the market, instead of letting Kodak talk them into a dwarf sensor, they should have gone the other way. There's more money, and future, in bigger sensors.

Guess who makes this new sensor? Kodak. That wasn't hard then...

Leica are very pleased with their new AF apparently. One point. Um...
