Lumiouns Landscape guys talking about the 24mp Dalsa CCD 35mm full frame sensor as a potential sensor for a rumored Leica M10,
As said by Josh-H (Sr. Member)
I had a chat last night to a very good friend of mine in Melbourne who owns and runs a large print house (which shall remain nameless for now to protect the guilty). He astutely pointed out to me a new sensor Dalsa have placed on their website for all to see HERE.
What application can this sensor have? Clearly its not for Canon or Nikon, or even Sony for that matter. Its a CCD sensor for a start.
Looking closely at the specifications it becomes obvious to both of us that this can probably only be a sensor for the Leica M10?
Or, are we drawing to long a bow?
We know that in Mid September 2012 Leica will announce two new camera,
