so, without anyone even sniffing this thing in person, we're still able to say unequivocally ''the leica M is still a long way ahead''? oh my! well, if we all say it over and over, maybe the 'pixies' will make it true...

`Blad obviously is having trouble selling expensive gear, so they are trying to compete with Canon and Nikon. Lots of luck

Anything to back this up as fact?

thanks sevo. could you help educate me and others as to why hassy is the only mirrorless mfg who delivers a camera without a shutter? what is the benefit? what are the drawbacks?

Cheaper body, more expensive lenses.

Think of the warranty and service implications.

I like the flash sync speeds with a shutter in lens versus a focal plane shutter.
