The idea was, if motors and mechanical parts were out (electronic shutter in, exposure metering as in this digital world) the likelihood of the camera suffering from breakdowns would be minimal....

How about a totally manual Leica without any motors, any mechanical stuff? No auto-focus, no power zoom, no mechanical shutter, no tilting screen and popping viewfinder! A body at $2000 max. + a...

Did a greater percentage of photographers than today - both amateur and pro - wear Leicas around their necks in the film era? Probably. The reason may well be the much more affordable high quality...

Leica has been wasting precious resources on silly stuff.

Who can match 2560 x 1440 (515 ppi) Super AMOLED screen? OnePlus? Of course not. Not even iPhone XS, nor Pixel 3, nobody but ... 515 ppi! Before manufacturers boast about their dubious software...

Silly Apple introduced that cutout from the screen image as if it was a big deal; now going 'notchless' has become something of a big deal introducing all sorts of complications. C'mon Mi, you do...

What is that blurred area? Is it some artistic composition? It succeeds in hurting the eyes. Is it the extraordinary capability of the camera in blurring pstt of the background?

What is the blurred area? Right in the centre hurting the eyes!

C'mon Leica, get your act together, streamline your creative resources without wasting them on silly projects. Come up with a design that will tempt people for its reasonable price. Then you'll see...

Film cassettes for different styles! Yashica have lost it! I own a classical, fully manual Yashica film camera with a 50mm Zeiss lens. I might use it again with the new Ektachrome. Styles? What...

They do it because they can - basically to justify in their own minds a $700 price tag. Is it necessary? Not for the masses, definitely not. Actually, a $200 phone will do nicely for them. It has...

Why is it bent? The screen is bent. Why? "One sees the control elements better", they say. "It is more comfortable", they say. Crooked phone a more comfortable phone? Well, Zeiss has got some sense...

A great deal of quality work and R&D from Zeiss! What remains is a good design with less superfluous stuff on a future camera. Ahh, bring back Contax!

"... slightly bent screen separates the live view from the control elements, making camera operation comfortable and straightforward."
A bent idea expressed in a bent sentence!

The chromatic aberration mentioned in the article -
How would that look on a large print, e.g. A2? Presumably, from a distance it may not be that serious.

Big Q: Who will print A3 size with accurate colours as on the transparency?

Bitten apple, no deal; notch, no deal; 19/9, no deal; bloatware, no deal.
Full-win phone, deal. To hell with the millions of crapware in the Android world.

DPR sense of humour - still photography examples in fast moving video!

Lack of ambition leads to kitch.

A winner! At some future date with OIS, weatherproofing, ...
