You might take a closer look, dave, if it‘s mirrorless or not...

And it already created a 300 post reader‘s feedback on DPReview. Leica‘s marketing can go back t9 their latte macchiatos, they are not needed to sell  this thing to those with the money for it.

I also don‘t get why the rear LCD should be a problem. If it would be double the resolution, it would still be a small screen and not capable to show most of 63 MP. I think It‘s owners will shoot tethered if a huge resolution matters or just know what they do without chimping a ll the time. No matter what, I don‘t suspect it‘s buyers to be OL forum posters, so why even bother what Leica did or what not.

In any case, they caused bigger echo than some of other recent cameras...

 Frankly, with all the real estate of the back of the camera a 4" high def screen would have been the order of the day ..... to let the buyers "feel good" about it!

  So throw them in the dustbin then or sell them on ebay ..... when they are obviously outdated .... 

  

... the D750 has a res of 1.290 M dot screen ...... the D500 a 2.6 M dot touch screen ...... the difference when zooming in is night and day .... the former looks OK until you look at the D500, which is sharp sharp sharp  ..... ironically it stopped working ..... Nikon's price for the part was 115 euros plus labour and postage ...... so the cost of production will be half of that or less .... 


...no one can convince me that a 19,000 dollar camera couldn't have slipped in a screen that costs around 60 dollars to produce and which would have clearly been better .....
 
  As for motion Jpg whether or not it's technically superior or not is not in question BC ............. the fact that nobody wants to use it once they have seen the ridiculous file sizes .... certainly is!

   One of the things I love about Nikon with the D500 is the all out willingness they showed to "give the lot now" (as it was then) ....... a 2.6 M dot touch screen ...... 1X 100% optical viewfinder ...... 10 Fps with a 200 shot buffer ...... 153 point AF with complete configuration .... with perhaps the best ergonomics of any APSc body ever and they could easily spread over two three models ......
 Nikon showed true "willingness" to all ...... something they matched with the D850 !!!

  I want to see that willingness when I buy a camera!
