Leica M photographers consider RF MF as largely superior to AF.

you could do the M mount with a new AF system as well but lets see

MFT is well below the threshold we are looking for here.
APS-C would be nice but Leica can't compete head on with Fuji and Sony, unless its a fixed lens zoom of course.
APS-H or FF is expected.

this camera is not a Panasonic, and will be made in Germany

an affordable Leica camera would not be a dream, if would just be a Sony or a Fuji

I though Fuji, Sony, Olympus and Panny would take away the DSLR business, now Sigma is eating into the DSLR lens cash cow as well!

The Panasonic lenses I used were amazing. I hear the GH-3 is an amazing camera. Definitely the best for video outside Canon DSLRs at the moment. in terms of lenses. I long ago realised that if you...

Sounds like alot of fun. I do plan to try some non Fuji lenses. The 50mm f1.2 Nikon appeals as does some of the Voigtlander M mounts.

Well a few days with the X-E1 and one can only be impressed. Since I decided to change my Leica M9 last year I have been trying various camera systems. In summary the D800E clearly has the best...

Very good. Thanks for posting

hmmm.... are you talking about raw or JPG ? probably JPG ... not sure that its worth getting a camera like this and just using JPG BTW the Fuji 35mm f1.4 is so much better then every 50mm FF on the...
