New Leica mirrorless camera coming

[jsrockit]

My interpretation is that they are going to release a 4/3's format camera similar to the GF-1 in concept.

Which info did you interpret this from?

"Mirrorless" is generally interpreted to mean the micro 4/3's format cameras that use interchangeable lenses with an M mount that simulate SLR's electronically without a mirror moving or otherwise. If my interpretation is incorrect so far as the Leica announcement is concerned, so be it. It will have to be up to Leica to clarify it if they so choose.

I stand corrected. See link below from the British Journal of Photography:

Reading Stefan Daniel's interview referred to above might be useful to avoid misinterpretations.
