[Leica] Which M to sell to get which M8?

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

Which digital cameras made in the past years will people want to pick up in
ten years from now and go out and shoot with like we do with an M3 now?

Not many but maybe the M8;
Maybe the D700 Dave is now shooting with with R glass.


I think specs are not going to out date cameras in this second decade so
much.
I think things will even out at a dozen megapixels and 24x36mm chip format.
Vibration reduction will become the rule not the exception.


I don't think the 16 megapixel cameras will turn the 12 megapixel cameras in
to has been clunkers. There are cameras with twice that pixel count now and
its just not needed for most stuff.
A D3 has more a shot at classic status than a D3x.
As for every shooter out there with a D3x there will be thousands with a D3.
We don't need no x.
A D3 is an F.

I think things will become a solid 16 bit workflo.
That's not going to turn the 12 bit cameras into junk.


We've in a digital sense past by the UR Leica (1914) era,
gotten by the Leica 0's (1923) era and have just past the era of digital
Leica 1's. (1933)

I think we are shooting digital Leica II's and III's now.

The M has not come out yet.

It's the early 50's.
