Leica digital camera delayed
Due to some minor software issues Leica delays the release of their 10 megapixel LEICA DIGITAL-MODUL-R camera back.
Leica's long awaited 10 megapixel DIGITAL-MODUL-R camera back has been delayed according to a letter posted on the Leica website. The camera back is designed to fit the R8 and R9 cameras. The letter comes out just at the time when the camera was published in a detailed article from Leica Fotografie magazine.
The camera back was the winner of DIMA 2005. It will be exciting to see a production model after the software glitches are fixed as outlined in the letter below.
Dear Sirs/Madams,
Under the following link (http://www.lfi-online.com/shop/sh_index.php) you will find the first test report on the LEICA DIGITAL-MODUL-R which the magazine Leica Fotografie International is publishing on the basis of a pilot model. You can read report in the issue that will be on sale in the next few days. In our view, the report confirms the high quality of the unique digital accessory for our SLR range.
In producing the high standards of quality our customers expect of us, we make no compromises. However, this forces us to further postpone the first deliveries of series produced models which were scheduled for May. The new delivery date will be communicated at the end of May.
Under the management of the new CEO of Leica Camera AG, Dr. Josef Spichtig, we are working hard to solve a few last software problems. Although these do not impair the basic function of the module, they have to be remedied before it is fully ready for production.
We are sorry for the delay, particularly because we know that many customers have already placed firm orders and are waiting desperately for the new product. Despite all the delays, however, we urge our customers not to overreact. We are more than ever convinced that the wait for the Digital-Modul-R will be worthwhile.
Best regards,
Leica Camera AG
