So, Olympus is closing a brand STORE and online SHOP in 1 country, and people see the end of an era coming....

I get the "writing on the wall" idea, but sometimes it's a good idea to calm down and...

True, but these are sunk costs - you have already paid them. No one will be buying a camera in order to use this software.

"Adobe launches a new marketing effort" - seems to be a slow news day

Since webcams are unattainable lately, or you're paying through the nose for one, this is just a nice gesture from Canon to people who use separate displays. A smartphone app to do the same thing...

Whether it is easy, is hardly the question here. I duly believe designing cameras is hard. Unfortunately, Fujifilm apparently hasn't (fully) succeeded in bringing a camera that can sustain...

"there is no truth in the light I recorded". Just let that sink in for minute.

Not so good news for your investment: due to increased global warming, the OECD has proposed to eliminate monochrome light starting 2022.

@Richard:
This actually opens up the possibility to rebadge the Zenit back to Leica again, and then apply the 3000 USD mark-up. Sounds like a winning business case.

This is just limited edition 2.0. Instead of only removing the red dot, they have now also removed the name. Makes sense actually, in some kind of way. Progress...

That is before price indexation since 1976. Apparently, indexed these prices would now be 7000 USD for body+lens according to Leica.

Or 10.5% price inflation per year. Well, they're good...

Camera's are manufactured in batches anyway. Might as well change the colour for each batch and call each a limited edition. And up the price a bit. No brainer I guess.

Better autofocus is nice, but USB charging is great: that is a nice upgrade for a travelcam.

The thing looks like a moonlander - except for the lack of skinny legs may be. I think it is beautiful, would like one just to look at it. Never going to buy one of course, but "imagination" is...

Reportedly, this whole moonlanding story was developed by Hasselblad and photographed in their studios, so they could launch marketling campaigns later on that would take attention away from Sony...

So 800 bucks is a cheap lens nowadays. It could be true, there may have been a steady price creep in lenses for some years

Unbelievable...

The speed of development in these camera's is really something, and USD 3500 makes me think they have forgotten a digit somewhere - but that is how it goes with innovation and why...

TIlting the screen with a mic in front isn't doable either. So, a lapel mic it is, or attach it somewhere on the rig .

"Changing batteries when you have you camera in a rig is a pain."

If you have it in a rig: why not plug in the USB cable and use any size powerbank you like?

So, it is not a limited edition (yay!), but it is special in that it is a 4000 USD body with a 7 year old sensor.
