Re: New Leica S system 30x45mm
Has Leica done its market research properly? I mean, full frame is gaining traction, crop SLR\'s are going crazy too, but medium format seems pretty moribund, partly because full frame has turned out to be so good. Is there really a big enough market for developing a whole new larger format system today? These fora are full of people saying that 12 megapixels is good enough for them, and they are at least keen photographers, if not always professionals. Are medium format producers doing well? And what about the current economic climate? The article linked on another thread had some pretty scary information about Leica\'s finances. Is this Leica\'s N-Digital, i.e. great, ground-breaking, but not enough for the money and nobody bought it? It seems to me that they would be much better off working on a full-frame R10, and producing it at a more bearable price point.
