Leica - Digital-Modul-R

Leica sliter i møtet med det digitale og det spørs om DIGITAL-MODUL-R er egnet for andre enn menigheten. Det dreier seg nemlig om et digitalt bakstykke for LEICA R8 og R9 kamera. Der som en er vennlig innstilt er dette dermed det første hybride 35-millimeter systemet, men velger en å være slem kan en spekulere i om det skyldes at leica rett og slett ikke har ressurser til å utvikle et heldigitalt speilreflekskamera.

Uansett, bakstykket benytter en 10 megapikslers brikke fra Kodak, noe som bør borge hedelig ytelse.
