A full-frame sensor would help, but even so there's nothing unique about such a camera. Laughable. What the market lacks is a compact, full frame digital camera, ~10-15mp resolution, the size of the M6, with interchangeable lenses - preferably M lenses. Now that would be an interesting product. Impossible you say? So was a 120gb hard drive the size of a pack of cigarettes in 1992. I'll bet anyone here that Cosina does it first. - --Jim - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marc Attinasi" <marc@attinasi.org> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2003 10:39 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] Oh ...
