Leica R9 Anonymous
Hey, I know it's a little slow on the reaction time here, but I just found out about the Leica R9.

From what I can gather, it's a digial/35mm camera... wtf?

Is this awesome? Y/N

It had interchangeable film and digital backs, like in MF cameras. Which probably was a good idea on paper - it's kinda awesome that you can upgrade two parts of the camera separately - but the 35mm (D)SLR market is evolving too quick and making a fully backwards/forwards compatible system is too costly.
