 In an interview with British Journal of Photography and other UK-based photography magazines, Dr. Andreas Kaufmann, Leica ‘s head of supervisory board When asked if such a new camera could include HD OR FULL HD video features, Kaufmann said that
“theoretically, yes,” adding that there are some issues with introducing video in a camera – “the data rate, the heat, and the battery lifecycle, but I think we solved that. No comment until we show it on existing and new models.”
He added: “HD video is interesting, and a lot of photographers would love to have it (in an M body).”
Leica Mirrorless system unlikely to be introduced in 2012?
When British Journal of Photography asked about the Mirrorless system, Dr. Andreas Kaufmann, said that
“We can’t produce enough of what we already have,”……”There’s a project in place, but no timeframe. But you should come to our event on 17 September to see what we have.”
Last year CEO Alfred Schopf said that they ” We are developing Mirrorless system that may use a APS-C sized sensor and …..You will see something at the next Photokina (Photokina 2012)”
