Leica Readying Mirrorless Camera for 2012

Leica Readying Mirrorless Camera for 2012

A replica of a really, really old Leica. Photo John Vance. Leica is working on its own mirrorless compact camera range, and it will be launched at Photokina in 2012. The news comes from Leica CEO Alfred Schopf, who spoke to UK magazine Amateur Photographer during an interview yesterday.

Schopf was circumspect, but told AP that the cameras would have sensors at APS-C sized or bigger, and most likely feature a built-in electronic viewfinder. He also made the point that its the lens, not the camera which is important. “Our philosophy is that the best lenses will lead to better images,” he said.
