Leica puzzle on lightmediation.

There's another reveal as of noon on Tuesday - confirms the camera is the M8 with no other lettering on the front, same as Jorge's earlier pictures. The magnesium chassis looks interesting.

Cheers,

The selection wheel is the same as the DMR. On DMR there is a wheel also to select ISO, Exp comp etc.

Ifthe "SET" button just cycles thru these on the main screen of M8 this would be a great improvement on the DMR, just cycle the SET and rotate quickly for ISO, COMP etc.
The DMR second wheel is the notorious one that puls off! (sogoodriddance)

I wonder where the battery is going to go? The DMR battery is about 4cmx 1cmx the length of an R9.

Under the base plate, together with the SD card.

The site has disappeared!!😱 😱 Have the Black Hats from Leica caught up with them??

Edit: They're back on line again 🙂

What I was going to say: Interestingly the frame of the LCD, including the button panel, seems to be integrated into the magnesium frame. I presume that was done to save any tenth of mm they could regarding thickness.

If the SD card is going under the baseplate, what is going in the little door on the rear upper left? USB connection?
