Report on visit to Leica factory

[Pete Askew]

An article on LL that I thought might be of interest especially after Hamish's comments on MP wars etc.

yep yep

Given that other brands are continually increasing their megapixel size, will Leica be following the same trend?
No, no more megapixels. It is enough we think. Future development will be concentrating on shooting rates, lower noise, higher Dynamic Range and higher ISO abilities.

the right answer imo

i like this bit too

The M8, a digital version of the M7 with a 10MP crop sensor came out at the end of 2006 and was well received, although it had some teething problems that were rather exaggerated by the internet forum pixel peepers

internet, pixel peeper, exaggeration ... i wont hear of it
