It's been interesting to watch as Leica has put together a digital line-up that is unique in so many ways first with the Digilux, DMR and M8. Most recently it is the X1, M9 and S2.
One could easily classify each as a niche product ... protecting Leica from the big bad world of the digital giants as they evolved from analog to digital (to avoid becoming irrelevant at best and extinct at worst).
Maybe an undated R is next ... or maybe it's not, depending on Leica's confidence in being able to differentiate itself in a very competitive DSLR market. So what else lurks around the corner? Are there more niches, categories and opportunities for Leica to exploit and create a leadership role (beyond and/or capitalizing on its strength in glass)?
Avoiding all of the woulda, shoulda, coulda pedantic angst that revolves around any discussion involving Leica gear, what do you think? What would you bring to market?
