Digital sensors are miles behind film in what aspects? I respectfully disagree regarding the M8. In my experience, images from my M8 are superior to anything I ever scanned from my film M's. That is to say in resolution, scalability, control, flexibility, convenience, productivity. Sorry but there it is. I suspect that users of the R8/DMR have some views on this also. Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/e http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/ Maike Harbets speaks on the S2. .... So we will drop down this technology to our other systems. Our priority is to modernise the R system which will be in the end an R10, definitely. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of FRANK DERNIE Sent: Sunday, 2 November 2008 00:54 To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] R10 news Quite so. A recent review of the new Canon 50D pointed out that overall resolution was not really improved over tha 40D, and the real world results very little better or worse due to lens and noise reduction limitations. But I have been told so very often digital sensors are still miles behind film....... ;-P --- On Sat, 1/11/08, wildlightphoto@earthlink.net <wildlightphoto@earthlink.net> wrote: > From: wildlightphoto@earthlink.net <wildlightphoto@earthlink.net> > Subject: Re: [Leica] R10 news > To: "Leica Users Group" <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Saturday, 1 November, 2008, 1:27 PM A.
