Live Webcast on 9/9/2009 - The next Generation of Leica Cameras

[evshrug]

Steve was that you @ the 58 sec mark? lol.
Maybe I'm not familiar with the exact shape of the Leica body, but the number on the body was M8 (I assume 8.2... maybe 8.3?)
Why do all the marketing materials say "Unvealing?" Shouldn't it be Unveiling?
There's something about Leica marketing materials that pleases me as a graphic design student. Nice job guys! And of course I'm intrigued in the idea of novice Leica... I've a few more years of college ahead of me before I can try paid photography

[StyleAndSpeedx]

I have a Panasonic Lumix TZ4 and the Leica on it is extraordinary for the price I paid!

[SATOKINAGATA]

It has ISO button which does not exist in M8 or 8.2.
It must be M8.3 or M9.

[websurf]

@robbyasti Only some of them are. The X1, M9, and S2 are handmade in the Leica factory in Solms, Germany.

Do your research before making a stupid comment.

[rixeaun]

there is no "best". it depends on what you like.
leica has very good abberation elemination.
by the way contax got the lenses by zeiss, also german. or what kind of japanese cameras u mean?

[HiFiHuff]

Oh yes, you know what this means! I like what I see at the 58 second mark.

[samoksner]

What do you see at 58 secs? I see an m8.2...

[sacredgeometry]

that depends on alot of things these days, especially when concerning the new leica larger format camera. fantasdick has a good point i dont know why he was marked down, film is getting harder to come by and even pro fashion work/landscape work is moving to digi backs (hell they can afford too)

most of my favorite film is disappearing i guess it comes down to the fact that when i walk into the supermarket and see p&s digis cheaper than a bag of people would just choose digi.

its Corporate S by Kurt Weidemann. Nice font!

[jillanderson]

Lets hope it is better than the M8 - that was dated before it hit the market. Bummer.

[mynamesfriday]

Youl'd better save around 30k for the new medium format system !!!! These cameras are SOOOO expensive.

[pinstripesandpedals]

It's very similar to Trade Gothic, except for the rounded punctuation.

[dvamateur]

I hava the cheapest one, the c-lux. I know it's made in Japan by Panasonic. But who cares, the Leica red dot looks fantastic on it. I like the d-lux as well. Best looking cameras as far as compacts go. Panasonic versions don't look as good, and lo and behold, they are cheaper too. I never heald a Leica M in my hand, because I think the dealer would be to nervous to let me. I'd be nervous too, I would be afraid to drop it, you know. I also like Pentax by the way. Similar culture to Leica

[huyked]

That is a smart guess. Good call on the 9 a.m. :D

[DanaCA]

Yaaay! I'm saving my money. Something kewl, please!

[zzx]

You're paying for the German accent in this video.

And Japanese still make the best cameras.

[myscrnnm]

I think you mean Ducati of cameras. Ducati is the Ducati of motorcycles. -____-
