jose_angel Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 The Leica M8 seems to be the winner at the TIPA (Technical Image Press Association) in the digital RF section. I`m reading at the magazine that Leica have devastated the segment with their M8... There isn`t a 2nd position on the pole, but it could be for the RD-1, probably also a TIPA RF award before the M8 release... ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig_Cooper11664875449 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Jose, with the M8 and the RD-1 being the only two cameras that are Digital Rangefinders, as well that the Epson/Cosina product was never expected to be true competition for the M8, its hardly a real competition... :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james mitchell dc Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Very good point, Craig. Would the Hasselblad or any of the monstrous digitals count in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry_pfile3 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Not in the RF catagory James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael s. Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Something of a <a href=http://www.tipa.com/awa_detail_2007.lasso?-Search=Action&-Table=web&-Database=awards_2007&-KeyValue=113>"one horse race"</a> in the digital rangefinder division for 2007, I would say. <p> The Epson RD1 won a <a href=http://www.dpreview.com/news/0504/05042602tipa_2005.asp>2004 - 05 Award from TIPA</a>.<p> Not sure what all of it means, but here, in their bathing suits, are <a href=http://www.tipa.com/awa_2007.lasso>all the 2007 winners</a>. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyaitken Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 The TIPA vote is for the best product in each category released in the previous year. I once had the privilege of voting in these awards and, even back then, there were a few one horse races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christoph_hammann Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hey!<br> There's a TIPA 2007 award for "best film" and it was actually handed out to Kodak (ha!) with their Portra (ha!) II (HA!) films. <br> Not what I would have chosen in that categotry, but still... <br> You can't hand out awards to corpses, so film can't be all dead!

jose_angel Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Exactly... a "one horse race". I see the horses escaped from the race in 2006. Next year this race will be suspended too, I`m afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan_belyaev Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 RD1 has been discontinued. Looks like M8 competed with itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
