PureClassA said:$7000 for the body and $5000 for the glass... yikes. Comparing MILC to MILC, is this really THAT much better than, say, an a7II with a similar 24-70 lens for 1/3- 1/4 the price? Leica makes great machines but good lord.... I get the size... they want to make it more of robust pro-level size. I don't care for the smaller, typical MILC bodies. 11fps is great but are wildlife/sports/photojournalists really going to consider this camera? No way. So what's left is pure image quality and I can't see it being $6000 better than an Alpha also with 24MP.

Bernard said:Question: How much is the Canon camera that can do 4K and 11 fps?
Answer: $8,000 (above $10k at introduction)
...but that's completely different, right? $8k for 11 fps and 24 MP is outrageous, but $8k for 12 fps and 18 MP is a good deal!

Am I the only one who thinks this thing is ugly? It reminds me of the East German and Russian knock-off SLRs of the 1960s. Boxy and clunky looking.

No, you are not the only one. It looks like a German Industrial brick and is not appealing in the slightest. That is what I actually meant by the skin deep thing. It looks like it would probably survive a fall off of a mountain though, so I was curious as to the weather sealing/build quality aspect. I hope Lens Rentals gets one to test/dissect.

By the time Canon brings something like that to market, the proper comparison will likely be to the A7IX

It's hard to envision a future in which a mirror doesn't offer a power advantage over an electronic viewfinder.

Well, moving the mirror out the way must take a *teensy* bit of power, right? Could even out eventually?
