Tilted Plane: Some of your accessory articles do seem a bit random, or sporadic, and this is a cute bag but is an odd item to highlight. Not all "camera bags" are made by Domke, no doubt, but have you ever spotlighted Tough Traveler bags, or Copper River bags? There are lots of really cool "camera bag" alternatives that we would love to know about, and some are even good for carrying cameras.

FantasticMrFox: It saddens me to see a brand as old and thoroughly accomplished as Leica jumping onto a bandwagon driven by offering meaningless gadgets for the rich that promote style over functionality. They used to offer the exceptional for a large amount of money, now they are adding the pointless for even more money ...

ChrisH37: Read the specs, saw the price, massively tempted as I was about to buy a Sony a7RII anyway.

Then I looked at the lens lineup. I know everyone has to start somewhere, but the native lens lineup is absurdly expensive.

£2000 for a near equivalent to a 35mm 1.8 / 85mm 1.8 combo (31mm and 77mm in Pentax speak). £1900 for a 70-200mm 2.8.

mailman88: What!!!!....No Sony A6000. You blew it DPReview.

joe6pack: Is it the infamous shake removal tool that removes 'synthetic blur' image?

FantasticMrFox: Oh, great - I bought the stand-alone LR 6 (a program that's just two months old!) two days ago and now there's an update that the cloud version will get but I won't. Is that the kind of support I paid €129 for?! Pathetic.

Maybe DPR would mind picking this up for an article.

RichRMA: The issue is being taken seriously by the mfg? And here I thought a chronic 60% defect rate would be taken lightly.

bigdaddave: I cannot believe the 'Cons' section doesn't mention the elephant in the room - IT ONLY HAS ONE FOCAL LENGTH

In the days when even a compact camera the size of a pack of cigs has a reasonable zoom this 1950's throwback might appeal to the well-heeled but as an actual tool it's far far too limited

But DP love Fuji so they've overlooked the obvious again

Rod McD: I know this is principally a gear driven site, but I think products like these very exclusive and expensive lenses must lead us to ask whether the gear is more important than who's behind it and what's in front of it. Adams, HCB, Capa - none of them had lenses as good as we have today. Did it matter? An image is more about moment and content than technology.

forpetessake: How is Sigma's "try before you buy" any better than buy and return for full refund if not satisfied most vendors offer? In fact it's worse, Sigma offers just one week, while most vendors allow 30 days of use.

Wim1964: Attractive idea, but (and that's what keeping me from buying/using a filmcamera); very impractical. With larger sensor compact camera's around (and a few nifty post-processing filters) you can get roughly the same effects. Not the same quality perhaps...there are some nice snaps on that flickr-page! :)

DaveE1: The perspective along with the tiny hands in those photos had me looking to see if that thing had luggage wheels.

It's small in reality. Check out the specs.

Marty4650: I think many of you are being unfair to Leica, and to Leica users by extension.

While I personally wouldn't spend several hundred dollars more for a Leica version of a Panasonic camera, there are plenty of people who would. "A few hundred dollars more" is a relative term, based on how much disposable income you have. Some folks have the money for this, even if I don't.

And selling these rebadged Panasonic cameras might be one of the things that helped bring Leica back from the brink of bankruptcy around ten years ago. This might even be why Leica can sell full frame rangefinder cameras today, that many professional photographers swear by.

We as a group of photo enthusiasts are better off having Leica still in business, even if their products are out of our price range.

Heie2: DPR - Please do the correct thing of classifying this as the same category as the Canon T4i. While the K-30 has significantly better IQ and will compare to the K-5 and D7000 for overall IQ, classifying it at those levels will cause it to be improperly scored compared to the T4i - it's main competition.

johnlovesmaine: will leica join 4/3 group?
