And to stay in the game they may just have to add those things ... but then again a lot of people would react by saying it's no longer a 'real' Leica! 😀
haha, you are probably right.
Change is so scary. I've seen it first hand in my industry. For decades we suffered with utterly stupid ski design, and little experimentation. There were a few exotics, like the miller soft powder ski, but it went nowhere. They knew it all. Teaching people to ski powder on long straight skis was pure torture.
Then came snowboards. Panic. Hate. Condescension. I've still never been on a snowboard, hehe. But at atomic, they watched the snowboards in powder, and wondered what it would be like to have two little snowboards, one on each foot. Enter the "powder plus". It revolutionised helicopter skiing. Slowly we began to see slightly shorter more shaped skis. "It's a fad", said all the local pros, except me and few others. To say they were resistent is to understate to the extreme. They HATED shaped skis. When they got a pair it was always WAY too long. They could not stand how they looked in lift lines.
Today it's the straight skis that look ridiculous. All those guys have completely forgotten they ever dissed the shaped skis. And skiing is much more fun.
Of course we still have stupid technology, boots jacked high off the skis sold to poor old geezers already weak in the knees--with bad binding design.
You see this same thing in discussions about the sony nex. "Oh god, it's way too small!" "totally unbalanced" "No viewfinder""where are the lenses?"
My only question is: "where is the full frame sensor, Dammit?"
that rig goes where no other aps-c can: my inside jacket pocket.
let's say this guy represents the ostrich vison at canon:
shot last week, nex-5 + Elmarit-m 90, 7fps
I can tell you there were no DSLRs on that chairlift.
