Normally I don't talk about hardware, but somehow I find this so amusing I have to share it.

From: http://www.imaging-resource.com/NEWS/1076724359.html

"Japanese companies Epson and Cosina have come up with quite a surprise for this year's PMA. Imaging heavyweight Epson has partnered with Cosina, a manufacturer of vintage-styled cameras that also makes cameras on an OEM basis for other manufacturers, to create an extremely interesting looking interchangeable lens rangefinder digital camera. The (as-yet unnamed) Epson / Cosina camera will accept Leica M-type lenses, and offers both a large rangefinder and a tilt / swivel LCD display."

I'm not sure what the RF community thinks of this. :lol: And I can't help feeling amused when I see the top deck of this camera. =P

ugh.
if someone told me to give this camera a one word review, it would have to be, ugh.
the thought of using Leica lenses is nice though.
