Like so many companies, they create a product with wonderful features that can really help, except they fail to do the whole job and create something of marginal benefit for drastically increased cost. Leaving most of us still frustrated. Why not simply ask what we need. Leica is probably still suffering from what a friend (and former Leica employee) described: engineers who feel they don't need to ask photographers because they aready know what is best for us. If they're going to do it, they should do right, and not bother us with this stopgap offering. Without 1/250 sync speed, I don't think the new camera is worth any more discussion. The new lenses are another story. donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego http://www.donalphilby.com
