Well that was silly wasn’t it – I mean, it’s got ‘Leica<\/strong>‘ written on it, so someone, somewhere will be whipping out their credit card…<\/p>\n\n\n\n If it’s you polishing up the plastic, beware that it’s about to take a hefty bang – \u00a34250<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is Leicas<\/strong> latest offering with a 47Mp full-frame sensor, 10fps shooting, and capable of 4K video (but then what isn’t these days) – sadly, the techniciens over in Germany (or was it Japan as most of the ‘technique’ seems to be Nippon with Leica<\/strong> being closely involved with Panasonic these days) decided there was no need to make an orientable rear screen (You vill not make selfies wiz ziz camera!) and if it gets a bit dark, there’s no built in flash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a fixed lens model – yes, it’s a superb 28mm Summilux f\/1.7, but you can’t take it off and put on something else. Leica<\/strong> have, however, given the user the option to frame to 35mm, 50mm and 75mm focal lengths – given the massive overdose of pixels in the sensor, digital cropping shouldn’t cause too much loss of quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The viewfinder is electronic with3.68 million pixels, so the view should be clear and fluid, and the fixed rear screen is touch-sensitive – pretty much the norm for modern hybrid cameras today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reviews are waxing over the sublime quality, the beautiful ‘feel’ etc. Frankly I still think Leica<\/strong> are taking the piss, producing niche cameras – but what the hell, while there are idiots out there willing to pay the price (and as a general rule can’t take photos to save their lives) why not! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m sorry, perhaps I’m too much of a digital dinosaur, but I cannot, for the life of me, understand why anyone would want to buy this:- Well that was silly wasn’t it – I mean, it’s got ‘Leica‘ written on it, so someone, somewhere will be whipping out their credit card… If it’s you polishing … <\/p>\n
