it may be off topic, but its on topic...

...since it will relate to the line of digital Ms if the rumours are correct.
The micro 4/3s system was introduced with the panasonic G1. I took the liberty and added some lenses to it; this has me very excited, as I can use my M lenses on a decent sensor body.
Somewhere down the line, I would not be surprised at the issue of more of a rangefinder-like body (i.e. no EV hump).
...and what does that do to the M body future, I wonder...Your thoughts?

While we did discuss this already in another thread, this system has promise. I don't like the specs on most of the current compacts, so maybe a decent m4/3 with interchangable lenses and maybe 12 megapixels would be intiguing indeed.

Maybe this could lead to a digital CL or CLE system?

...more like this in design -even though this is fictitious, it nevertheless very attractive.

Seeing the new LEICA offerings, I think the younger photogs they are looking to attract live in very exclusive neighbourhoods 🙄

Ya mean something like this, with a 25mm f2 compact summicron or perhaps a 17mm f1.4 summilux?
Sweet 😀

I was actually expecting such a camera from Panasonic.😡
You never know what Oly will present at Photokina.
Still a couple of days to go.

Slap a lens on it and call it the Panasonic 1a(d). It'll sell like hotcakes.
