Interesting to see how it fares against the Canon 1DS or 10D (that 10D is
getting superb reviews in just about every article written, and I believe
you can use Leica glass on a Canon body?).  Also interesting to see if Leica
lenses designed for less than full frame digital sensors are developed.  I
presume a full frame sensor was not possible, although it would have made
the most of the curent 35mm lens line-up.
