But is not out yet. And they don't know when they're getting it (B&H). But I bet its soon! When it does come out it will be called the best camera in the world I think . By people who review flash drives but also some more in the konw. Better then medium format Hasselblads and full frame Canon and Nikon DSLR'S and Leica digital M's. And better then the camera in the iPhone 6 which will be taking most of the pictures the second half of the decade. But $17,000 doesn't even get you a lens. A lens for this camera to match the new Leicaflex digital SL: The Leica 30-90mm f/3.5-5.6 Vario-Elmar-S ASPH. Lens $10,340.00 So that adds up to $27,340 body and lens. Forbes says the average price of a new car is $30,303. So you're saving 3 grand. I don't need no stinking car. If I cant make it by foot I take the bus. >http://www.forbes.com/sites/moneybuilder/2012/05/10/average-price-of-a-new-car/ < On 10/21/15 6:16 PM, "Tina Manley" <tmanley at gmail.com> wrote: > It looks that way.
