From what I've seen on other sites, Leica's new camera appears to be a 4/3 format camera, not a m4/3. Should know more next week.

Now, if I understand all the Rube Goldberg struts and slots, this one just MIGHT do what the Digilux 2 (and 3) flash does....

The parallelogram linkage does appear similar -- and no more complicated, really. It just looks more complex because the swing arms are more skeletonized than they are on the older camera.

They're giving them more smallerness. And in some circles, smallerness equals coolitude.so this is an improvement compared to t' G1? the GF 1...what happens when t' marketing boys get to design a camera...give them less and charge 'em more...

Come on folks! I am eagerly waiting for the images that show the coolerness and the cuterness with various lenses plus the all important bag questions.
Time to shop.
I think a softly soft leather half case (in matching colors, of course) would be swell. I will wait for those to show up first and then take a look at the GF (there could be a GF-2 by that time.
).

That may have sealed it for me a flash and a EVFHi

I need some cooltude in my life, bring this bad boy on. LOL
I'll wait for Leica announcement than I will start looking.
It has to be better than my G10 so that right there gets my vote. Raw processing maybe my limitation , I like C1

I will keep an eye on the FS section. :ROTFL:
I always listen to Vivek, so when he suggested I get my camera bag from Hello Kitty, I went there - took me a while, but in the end I raised enough nerve to do it.Come on folks!

Now he is suggesting I get a cute soft leather half case in matching colors, do I need to go to Luigi for that? I can't keep up with him :banghead:

There you go....you've coined a word--

"smallerness"......I wouldn't change my G1 for this--but I am thinking seriously about adding it as a second body--and for use when I want to carry a slim little camera in my bag with the 20.

Keith,
Sorry mate. I bought a pair of (brown and fairly nondescript - boring really) shoes that are comfortable to walk on for a few hours instead.
I also bought a monitor.
I think I got everything backwards...

In the dpreview.com preview on page six, they say about the viewfinder "...but from a resolution point of view you're not going to be using it for fine focus checking". Now, since this has roughly the same resolution as the EP-1 screen, and I haven't heard anyone complain about checking focus with that screen, would it stand to reason that manually focusing using the viewfinder would not be all that bad? The viewfinder of the G1 is one of the few reasons I am still considering the G1 over the GF1.
I know, I know, no one has one yet, so how can we know?

No need to wait, Panasonic has already got ya covered. Half cases, case fronts, straps, carry bags...I think a softly soft leather half case (in matching colors, of course) would be swell. I will wait for those to show up first and then take a look at the GF (there could be a GF-2 by that time.

I think the reviewer meant that the monitor wouldn't be as useful for "chimping" shots you'd taken to make sure they're in focus, rather than for manually focusing the lens.
For after-shot focus checking with such a low pixel count, you'd have to zoom in so far that you wouldn't be able to see much context.
Of course, usually you'd chimp your shots with the back LCD, which has a much higher pixel count. But I suppose if you were shooting swimsuit models on the beach, that might not be practical because of the sun. Anyone care to help me field-test this scenario?

Re: There you go....you've coined a word--
Also, I'll bet that for a while at least, the only way to get the 20 is going to be to buy one with a camera body.
You and me both, lady.

Thanks. I will research that carefully to see if the optional hot shoe EVF is taken care of.
Might take a while though..
Would the GF accept generic batteries which are way cheaper and work better on the G1 (unless disabled by a software update)?
Also, I have not seen any hoods for the 20/1.7 or the 45mm lenses. Since there is no official hood for the 17/2.8, I guess we are in a time of naked primes.
But, there are always those snug fit leather half cases in matching colors to rejoice.
