I don\'t think the FF mirror-less advantage will last for Leica that long. My guess is no more than maybe 4-6mo. once the M starts shipping. I expect a non-Leica FF mirrorless in 2013.
Just chiming on the previous discussion--I think Tariq may well be proven correct.
Look at the advertising for the RX-1: go FF or go home!
Who predicted that camera?
As to the lens line issue: for sony at least there is no issue. Not only is there now a wide variety of native emounts, but the alpha adapters are fully functional. The E is great because anything goes. Obviously the real question is going to be the sensor.
The new M will be the benchmark in that regard, obviously.
To my mind the new M is the most spectacular result of photokina, with cred to the nikon FFs and the rx-1 (and alot more i am not up on).
Too big...but it has a real RF....too big....but it\'s weather proof!
