Twp surprising news on the Leica website today:
1) they rename their camera portfolio. The compact cameras below the Leica M are now a Micro M (the camera formerly known as X2) and Nano M (tcfka D-Lux).
No comment...
2) They'll announce a new camera called "Mini M" on June 11th. My first thought was they'll introduce an entry level camera to the "real" M system, but this camera is already here (M-E). And given the renaming of the rest of their portfolio, I guess we can expect a system or compact camera with smaller sensor size (APS-C? Or finally mFT?).
They probably lost quite some users to Fuji's X-System and feel the need to answer. Will be interesting to see if the new camera starts a new system, and whether it has AF.
