Daniel

Opinions are free. Mine is just opposite to yours and based in my experience
as I've shooted firstly with a small sensor and afterward with a, so called,
full format sensor. So for me it's necessary as the output is measurably
better. Maybe not for others. But I'd like to distinguish between necessary
and affordable. So, to come back on topic, I'm afraid Leica may be mistaken
with his R digital back not being full format. He tried to but it was too
expensive. So smaller means cheaper not better. Another matter about I'm in
doubt is the choice of mass storage being, again in my experience and in my
opinion, much better the CF than SD (I think) cards chosen by Leica for the
R back probably for a size issue.
