This week looking at pics of DMR's I find it interesting that they are not
like I'm mainly thought of them being: a camera back.
They are a camera.
They are totally integrated into the camera body to must make it into
another camera. Not one with a back. In effect due to unusually integrated
design.
Its Leica design. Which is top notch almost always. Even getting into this
electronics realm.
