M9: Any Photos Leaked Online Yet?

[eleskin]

I remember just before the release of the M8, there were photos of the camera leaked to various web sites on the internet. I noticed this time, I do not see any, although something may be out there somewhere.

I mention this because this may be an indicator of when this camera will be for real and on sale.

I am excited about what I am reading (20MP, full frame , etc,,,). I really hope they solved the noise problems so we at least can use ISO 1600 without any problems.

Ask jaapv ... he seems to get a heads up if someone farts in the Solms lunch room!

Us mere mortals have to guess! 😛

It isn't it, but is more of a "M9 is coming" sign.

😀 Sure, Leica will use the 5d sensor - when pigs fly :angel:

Step away from the crack pipe, son...

Would that be a response to post #1 or #2 ?

Well, just ask the WHO if ever a swine flu 😀

I tested Leica R lenses on 5dII and it was great, but it would be better if M9 had a CCD 😀 hope i'm not asking for too much for the very small amount of money we pay on M9 and M system in general.

C'mon! What should it look like? Form a mental picture of an M8. Start with the front view. OK, got it? Now, see where it says, "M8?" In your mind's eye, change the 8 to a 9. That should do it.​

I'm taking a factory tour in Solms, in about 2 weeks. If I see any lumps covered up with bedsheets, I'll report it to this group ... right away!

Exactly. I really doubt it'll look any different from the M8.

Maybe it'll say 'M IX' on the front instead...

Now that's design innovation!!

You mean we won't get fooled again? 🙂

Rob is right. Of course, it's going to look like a Leica M. What other design would they use?

If they were smart, they would cut costs by removing the viewfinder system and use a "live view" LCD on the back to control everything, including focus. That way, you can see if the lens vignettes right away. Plus, you can join the legions of other camera users who have realized that the day of the optical viewfinder has passed.

But seriously, it's a Leica M.

They're going to put a dummy roof prism on top, to make it look like a DSLR, of course... duck and cover...:angel:

I used to read Chasseur d'Images a while back and they were always right when announcing new gears coming soon, which means that the Leica M9 is certainly coming in September LOL ;-)

"...the French Chasseur d’Image magazine writes in its latest issue (#316, July 21 – September 21 2009) that Leica M9 will be released in September and it will be full frame..."

At last!

At last!

Rumor has it that a "HCB" Creative Mode will finally be included. 😉

It'll be twice the size and look more like an SLR. Y'know, to fit the FF sensor that everyone has been hounding Leica to use. It will become known as "the digital M5."

leica is using S2 weathertight technology to prevent info leakage out of solms 😀
