The Coming Canon ‘Retro’ Camera to Use Latest 32.5MP Sensor
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I also had and still have the AE-1 setting around collecting dust. I love using my R5 because of the way it feels in my hands. Cannot see myself buying a retro AE-1 body that wouldn't have the the latest body style design. But just my two cents.

You just named my 3 most disliked hairstyles!
PS: I own Leicas, but no Q yet. I am simply waiting for a Q starting at 24mm! 24 to 50 would be perfect for me, there would still be an appropriate number of MPs left at 50mm.

Grab your camera, go out and shoot!
If you pass the doorman of a Leica store successfully, everything is fine (only your wallet is in serious danger).

- The R1 should be the successor of the once great 1Ds, being the real flagship, with biggest resolution and best AF. R5 resolution with R1 AF.
- The R3 should be the workhorse sports camera, having the R1 AF but lower price and resolution and higher FPS. Maybe some niche sports/action/work feature for everyday use on the field.
(Hard to take FPS seriously tho, when the R6m2 can do 40 FPS and 15-20 is the max you will ever need. I should probably rethink and realize there's no such thing anymore as a sports/action camera really. You put any of the current models into a rugged body and give it the best AF, done.)
It is sooooo annoying that no matter how much money you have, you can't have both resolution and AF which are probably the two most essential performance factors.
R1-3-5-6-8
R7-10-50-100
9(!) line of camera series. Seriously, who thinks it's necessary?
100 needs to be as cheap as possible and there should be a 100C (compact)
10 and 50 could be merged.
8 can be discontinued and we need a compact milc with the ff 32MP sensor.
It's mindblowing how there's STILL no full-frame compact, photo-oriented camera. Not that there's any. We only have 1 compact model, a video-oriented APS-C one.

Realistically, no new camera for me any time soon. I’m waiting to see if the “affordable” RF 300-600 rumor comes to fruition before I spend any more money. The Leica Q is pretty cool thoughYou just named my 3 most disliked hairstyles!

Yes, but these are hand-made luxury scratches! Plus, the leather is from water snakes, so this is an ideal gear for venomous images

Film or digital Leicas? For me personally, a Leica M series should be film camera, because you buy it once and keep it for a lifetime, and every scratch adds to a beautiful patina. Digital cameras have the disadvantage that tech ages much too fast. I think Leica should come up with a digital M body in with an exchangeable module that includes the sensor, electronics, and display, so it could be updated.You just named my 3 most disliked hairstyles!

I'm afraid the M with interchangeable sensor etc...would even cost much more than the current models. And that most owners, especially the numerous showcase Leica collectors, wouldn't care about modernising their cameras. They'd just collect the new updating modules and put them in a special "update modules showcase". Besides, this electro-mechanical updating would be terribly complex to achieve in the required precision.

I always thought that prices & CLA costs do not matter for Leica users. Well, my perspective is always the one of a user, not a collector. But I understand that scratches and patina can really let explode the price of a camera, here is an example:I'm afraid the M with interchangeable sensor etc...would even cost much more than the current models.

Btw I learned that there are many faked copies of rare series are around... so a too greedy customer may get a "rare" Leica I, II, or III with the innerts of a cheap Soviet Leica copy

A "Laika" from "Vetslar"? LOL. That would be an attractive offer to less well informed "collectors", I guessJust as you wrote, there are users, and there are collectors.

But better go for a 100,000 $ minimum price, that's much more convincing...
