Damn, I've just bought a Ricoh GR Digital V!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

You need both...

 

[Hamish Gill]

since when has owning a camera stopped you buying another Pete?

 

[Pete Askew]

True. But I did accidentally buy another Sinar 10x8 today though (plus all sorts of bits and bobs), so...

accidentally

 

[Pete Askew]

Well, you now how it is!..

 

[Brian Moore]

I sometimes have had accidents like that too, Pete, so I for one understand.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Never drink and EBAY!

 

[Brian Moore]

Never drink

Hey,...watch it Dodkin!

 

[Pete Askew]

Alas, I cannot even blame drink. Or eBay!

 

[Andrew Cotterill]

they've gone for a minimal look with this camera then? It looks a bit... boxy

Ah, but it's a box hewn out of solid brass Andrew!

Ah, but it's a box hewn out of solid brass Andrew!

I see the Russians have bought out a copy of the Mini-M, but made out of inferior materials...

Image of the leica Mini revealed, plus more info. Looks like they are trying to compete with the Fuji X100S - at twice the price, of course.

Edit: Not the X100S - more like the 18-55mm version of the XE1, but a fixed lens...?

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Rob.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Fixed lens eh - mmmmmmmmm

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I'm not sure if that report is based on any real evidence...

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Looks like a Leica X100

But with a zoom...
