Yes. Then it must be true. You seen to be a reliable source. I always trust a faceless dude on internet forums that has a brand new account.

Why, just yesterday I was hanging out with the ghost...

Is a Nikon Pronea not a Nikon? It was a failure of an APS camera, and nothing like any of their full-frame offerings. It had a lot of shortcomings just like the M8.

An M8 is not "pretending" to be...

@DaveBowman: You didn't hit a nerve. I'd have to actually care about what you thought. The M8 does everything I expect the M8 to do. I didn't buy it expecting to fire off 100 fps or AF or whatever....

@DaveBowman: Yeah, I do think it was worthy. What exactly is YOUR point? If you don't like it and you don't want it, why are you crying about it? There are plenty of options out there for you. So...

@walkaround: This isn't even an official Leica product photo. It's a mock-up someone made and posted to the internet. So before you go jumping to conclusions and calling it out as a "Fuji rip-off"...

Because they offer great cameras for niche consumers and make the best lenses in the business.

If you've ever used a real Leica M you'd understand.

Obsolete in a few years? Why? Because there aren't enough for you? Because you can't shoot at ISO 25,600?

I have an M8 that's 6 years old and it still produces amazing images.

Leica isn't going...

Leica isn't...

So you think $1600 is a camera for the poor? There's no such thing as a camera for the poor.

Do you understand that Leica cameras are mostly hand assembled in a place that's not a third world...

I feel like I somehow stumbled into a Leica discussion. Never ONCE have I heard a Sigma referred to as "rich guy" gear.

Yeah, $900 is cheap comparatively. Find a cheaper full-frame 35mm f/1.4 AF...

Rich guy's toy? It's the cheapest full frame 35mm f/1.4 out there.

@cmoney: Exactly. You know the drill.

Here's a good example. A VERY famous photographer showed up at a venue during SXSW. He made it a point to drop his name and he told us all, "I'm (famous...

The other thing about the 70-200 is that more often than not it requires you to shoot from further back in the pit. So it's not as likely to get in the way.

Another scenario, which is worse, is...

@TheSquire: Since you obviously have never been in a working photo pit let me break it down for you.

The 70-200 is mounted on the front of the camera. Since you're actively using it you are more...

@OniMirage: Of course you don't give "to" shits about anyone else. And that's why other photographers probably hate you. We all have to work together. When someone is lining up a shot and a stupid...

I'm hoping it will be a DRF similar to Leica CL. Maybe using a 16MP sensor so that the M-E can remain in place as a small step above.

So may Leica haters on here. Not sure why everyone thinks...

I doubt that Leica would place a re-branded camera in between two cameras that have no Panasonic equivalents.

The most obnoxious part is that he probably was blocking other photographers from getting shots because he had his GoPro mounted on top of his camera. There's nothing worse than being stuck...

I'm trying to figure out why this is such a big deal. It's just some innocuous misstatement by a dumb CEO.

People didn't stop payment on checks to their photographers just because she said there...
