I watched it too. I just thought that it was a bit of fun by the owner. I
don't think that it's a Leica produced or sponsored video, heck its not even
a well made video. More a good example of the limitations of shooting video
with a dSLR!
But sheesh, don't be mean to about the ladies or take this too seriously as
an S2 review or something.
Besides, tell the truth, don't you just empathise with that moment when you
open the shiny black box with red dot! A little frisson of excitment or
anticipation when you buy something new and cool?? Sigh ;-)
