I was just wondering...

For me, I came away without really caring about much. I did like the Leica Ms and some of the lenses for the Fujis that were announced, but overall... I made it without a GAS attack.

How about you?
 
being shooting just film for the last year, i would be interested in a full frame dslr. not the 6D neither the D600, but the 5DmkII, that i think will decrease its price drastically over the next months.

Disappointed with the price of the D600 (but not surprised) and eagerly awaiting the price of the D700 dropping. I was also very interested in the Oly EPM2 but lost interest when the pricing details came up. I'll just hang on to my EPM1 for now and get the EPM2 when the price dips (at this rate in a couple of months)
 
I'm actually eager to see the Zeiss AF lenses for the X cameras.
Only thing that might've made me regret selling the XP1.
 
The Leica M10 for sure. I don't really care about the high ISO quality. Just having ISO 6400 is important to me. Along with built in copyright info, spot metering, larger buffer and longer battery life. Everything else it offers I will likely ignore. It's doubtful I'll be able to purchase this year. But possibly next if I can get at least $4500 for my M9 in early 2014.

The Canon G15 also looked promising. I am in the market for a new P&S. Was setting my budget at $350. Sadly it's being introduced at $500.
 
I liked the Leica gallery - quality photographs.
Apart from that I liked F-stop bags and... not much else that I've discovered. I mean the cameras were nice, d600, nex6, rx1 (no touch and try), fuji, etc, but I'm not in the market for a new camera so I didn't care much.
I predict 'kina 2014 will be interesting. Full frame should become much more widespread by then.
 
The new Fuji lenses but not planning to buy for a while.. I am actually more interested in the future 27 pancake...

Was disappointed Ricoh did not announce anything for gxr m module..

I liked the Sony RX1.

There, someone had to say it. 😉

(I also liked the Leica M, the first digital M I could see myself using (thanks to live view / EVF if needed) without having to lug along a second camera. I won't however be buying one.)
 
Interested in the 6D and all the Fuji related stuff, especially that Zeiss 12mm. I'm most likely going to pick up an XP1 in the next few months. And while I won't be buying one the Sony RX1 is pretty cool. The Leica announcements didn't do a lot for me, unless used M9 prices suddenly dramatically...

XF1 is intriguing, but still prefer the LX7 layout
 
Not that I plan to get a new camera but the XE-1 looks interesting to me if the EVF is decent (i.e., on par with the newer sony ones) and the AF is as good or close to what Fuji claims.
