Hi Vivek - to be honest I'm perfectly happy with both approaches. However - WAnything Panasonic created if Leica brings it out as "cloned" or "reworked" is not worth its skin, IMO. It is better if they license their recognizable logo for revenues.
That might NOT translate into sales though. :deadhorse:I think it's similar to Apple products... They could release an iBrick and people would still get a little nutty over it.
I don't agree. I wouldn't buy a logo makeover on a GX7, and probably most people here wouldn't buy one either. But as an easy introduction into the marketplace it makes a lot of sense given they will be aimed at a different consumer. Leica's own efforts can come later, but having a body available immediately will have the knock on effect of a wider range of Leica designed lenses to go with it. Saying it is just a clone of a GX7 (or whatever) is throwing the baby out with the bathwater and not looking at the wider picture.Anything Panasonic created if Leica brings it out as "cloned" or "reworked" is not worth its skin, IMO.

Hi JorgenBut there are Leica m4/3 products out there. They are just made by Panasonic, and they are all lenses. Which makes it all the more puzzling why they don't make a body as well. But maybe they want to have a complete lens set available first. That will be the situation very soon, with 15mm f/1.7, 25mm f/1.4, 42.5mm f/1.2 and 45mm f/2.8 macro.
I think it's just a question of time
The image quality can't be much to write home about if it doesn't feature a wooden grip :wtf: :loco:We have some traction here: Did Leica change their mind about MFT? Panasonic will sell them interchangeable mount cameras! | 43 Rumors
I have to visit the local boutique shop when it debuts. :ROTFL:
