It might be possible to replace both, but it would be way too hard for the camera companies to kill potential sales of the newer better model. -----Original Message----- From: jon.streeter Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2012 10:07 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Cameras Real Pros Use Why can't bodies be made to accept plug-in sensors so one could upgrade not just with firmware but with hardware?

In this regard (never mind whether or not they are reliable or measure up to the competition), they are different than just about every other Leica ever made. They go from pricey/scarce to obsolete/clearance items in less than 5 years, it seems. Emanuel _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
