會唔會有Leica版的GF1?
Don;t think so, lets face it, Leica cannot win with such and together with the X1. They can either have this or that. Besides, the reality is if Leica made any Micro 4/3, its inevitable that the M9 would suffer ( think about it, what would a micro 4/3 GF-1 Lecia with that amazingly good 28/2.8 would be like )
Leica is as usual trying to just over price and thus profit ... they used to made quality camera , and while they are expensive always, they are reasonably expensive. These days they are illogically expensive whether its lens or camera. The M9 clearly just what the M8 should be 3 years ago. all those spec and performance, those are vintage 2005/2006 at best 2007, not that of 2009/2010 and to be fair, all those sample Leica posted on WEB leave me wonder if they ever advance, cause the image quality is very much so-so ( one can clearly discern many faults )
IN fact I state that else where, but wwhat I would say is Leica simply trying to be traditional just for the sake of being so. The X1 with its size can easily be made with an M mount ( which then it can be used as a EVIL M body ( no RF, just focus , frame, compose, and meter via live view ) ANd of course then it do not need build in stuff for the lens etc .. it can even reuse the M8 sensor ( with a proper UV/IR filter ) or use that APS-C sensor. It can be of that same 2000.00 price and introduce more people to Leica and thus healtheir business. What a waste, The X1 in its own right is not bad implementation, but such a camera at 2000.00 , forget it
