As you are ably demonstrating the 4/3rds route is more than adequate
for great photography and I am sure it will be the basis of many
future developments, but I fear we will be left speculating on the R10
for a good while yet. My reading of the shake out of R kit by
retailers suggests the R mount is on its way out and Leica have given
the nod to their selling stock at "Demo" prices. The SL2 is still a
favourite with me but I am less happy with my other "investments" in R
kit; rightly or wrongly I feel let down by Leica and I find myself
drawn back to Nikon SLRs, especially with the new Zeiss lenses and
Nikon's VR lenses e.g. the superb 105 VR micro.

All the best, Chris
