[Leica] 2500 ISO

[jshul at comcast.net (Jim Shulman)]

Obsolete, as in "that generation of chip/software/etc. is no longer
supported", or "it's not compatible with the current generation of graphics
programs and computers, etc."--or worse, "we can no longer repair that type
of electronic camera."

Will the Leica organization be there for us in twenty or thirty years, when
the chips are down?
(couldn't resist that one...)

Those of us who use our cameras professionally (or semi, as in my case) can

get some tax benefits from buying.  If you are not a professional, and the  
camera is doing what you want, so what if it is obsolete?  
 
I shot professionally with an "obsolete" M6 for six years after the M7 came

out.
