Leica on the Future of Sensor Technology

In an article over on Germany's ColorFoto website, there's a discussion by "Leica on the future of sensor technology" (in German). A lot of interesting bits on the sensor of the M and using both R lenses and classic M lenses on it, some CMOS vs. CCD and even the future of the S system. Well worth checking out. Read more below for translation!

#recreatedclassic Finalists Win X Cameras

Instagram recently challenged users to show off their artistic side, asking them to remake iconic photos and post their interpretations with the hashtag #recreatedclassic. It's somewhat similar, in spirit, to the Leica "100" video that went viral last year. The competition culminated at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity where more than 500 entries were displayed - and three winners were named at a pop-up gallery at the Hotel Majestic Barrièrre. The #recreatedclassic contest was sponsored by Leica Camera and the winners got limited-edition X cameras. Read more below for the winners and photos!

The New Leica Q - WHO MADE YQU?

As investigative journalists and generally just downright nosy bastards... We're not too keen on Leica Camera's secrecy behind the new Leica Q (Type 116) camera. For example, who made the sensor? We're assured by Leica that "The sensor is a newly exclusively developed one for the Q. Nothing to do with the M sensor or CMOSIS." So then, who is it made by? Sanyo/Panasonic? Sony? We intend to find out! Check out our budding WHO MADE YQU? Kickstarter campaign! If there's enough interest, we'll go live - and do it! Once complete, we'll auction the camera and donate the proceeds (minus any overhead) to Kinderlachen e.V.
