W0uld be very interested in a C Lux 4 if they again did it in white. My D Lux 4 - still loving it. Passed on the software upgrade because of user feedback. It was a great little camera from day one, and will continue to be so. That there is no new model doesn't bother me. The X1 - the camera just leaves me flat. There's nothing for me to love about it. I would look at more seriously with a lower price point, but not at the current 2 grand. At 2 grand, I would expect a faster lens. I tend to agree with the above, start with a blank sheet of paper and have another go. I could just kick myself for not getting the C Lux 3 in white when I found it at a good price.

They have had some 15/16 months since they wrapped up the S2 project and announced that the person leading that team would be heading up the R10 project. All they said was that it was not practical to make an SLR. Personally, I have wanted Leica to start with a blank sheet of paper and create the best 35 mm digital camera, whatever that may be. Something informed by the past but not weighed down by it. I'm surprised there has not been more speculation surrounding this announcement.

I am starting to understand why people value robustness ... especially since I am using a rangefinder camera. Thanks for the update on the next M.
