Steve Huff wrote a Leica M8.2 review. I would never buy this camera because of the very high price. The image quality can’t compare to the other high-end cameras like the Canon 5DII or Nikon D700. Do not misunderstand me, I like the concept and the lenses but I can’t throw my money out of the window. I would certainly go for an analogue Leica camera or even better for much less a Voigtländer Bessa (to save money to invest in Leica lenses).

Ken Rockwell wrote an article over “The Cult of the Leica“. At the bottom of the article he admits: “This is kind of a sucky article” ;)

Oh and finally some very cheap Leica M9 fullframe rumor at photo.net

For various reasons we are all very busy with our real world job. That’s why we are lagging behind with the “One day one photo” posts and some minor news. We want to say thanks to all the people who posts comments to our articles. We read all your comments but we havn’t yet found the time to answer you all. We will do it this weekend.

Many thanks!

We received our first rumor concerning the body only price. That means the camera alone without the 14-42mm(?) kit-lens will cost you $899.

P.S.: You can read here the old dpreview thread where this sketch has been posted

In the past week we had two polls and we thought may you are interested to know the final results.

1) The first poll: “What color should the new Olympus m4/3 camera have?” had 436 total voters

65% of you want a black m4/3 model

13% silver

9% blue

7% red

6% white

To bad I havn’t added the beige color as option ;)

2) The second poll had the question: “Is the price to high for you? ($999 for m4/3 with kit-lens)“. We had 277 voters

75% voted YES!

Many thanks for your partecipation!

Robert from Poland sent us a link to his olympus mju review.

The very interesting part is the comparison they made between the,

– Fujifilm FinePix Z33 WP
– Olympus mju Tough 8000
– Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1
– Pentax Optio W60

Well done Robert!
