[Leica] List critique - was: Thinking about a D700 or D7000 -

[wanderjan at gmail.com (Jan Decher)]

I fully second these voices.  I would like to see more discussion of and
results from Leica (or lets say R and M Mount) gear that some of us can
actually afford.
Why not take the whole Nikon 700/7000 and other OT discussions over to the
appropriate fora. I am not talking about my Canon 60D or Rolleiflex gear
here either. For the latter Marc Small offers a disciplined and (mostly) on
topic forum.
And please trim cited text (as I have tried here). Three LUG digest full of
junk in a day is just too much!!

===================================
Mine too.  I've been a professional (staff) photographer for 42 years, but I
can't afford to spend $7K for a camera (I don't do freelancing, so a camera
will not pay for itself).
Re: APS-C, on many candid-type jobs, I use two cameras - the 5D and my 30D,
always shooting RAW, and no client has ever complained about the quality of
the pictures. Alan
