M9 pre-order 18mp €5500

Pretty radical, the shutter speed dial. Not a snowballs chance in hell they'd release a camera like that, I'd say. But, I've been wrong before:eek: (unless its not a FF camera after all, in which case I've been right :))

Funny: the 'A' on the dial will pretty much be the only visible setting with the dial sticking out that little. How on earth will it allow for '8000' to show? Unless the set shutter speed is visible in the viewfinder at all times... Ouch.

In general: I do not mind an M5-like design:rolleyes:, I'd even say its time we had one again!:eek:

EDIT: TOO FUNNY: a Shooting Mode indicator on top. Like you would be able to set Shutter Priority, or a Program Mode, whuahaha! Oh Gawd, that hurts... :)

The creator of that picture just copied (without thinking) the OLED from the Leica S2 pictures.
 
It it's real, the shutterspeed dial placement looks like a rip-off from Ricoh; so we can have a head to head rumour death match between the M9 and the upcoming (rumoured) Ricoh interchangeable lens camera. With the always a good rumour, so must be coming eventually, Nikon DRF running up the middle. But hey, I grew up with the OM system, so I'm not adverse to unusual shutter-speed dial placement.

I'll put up some cash. I was just going to send it to a nice Nigerian widow who wants me to help her take $14,000,000 out of the country anyway.
 
good grief. The PLAY and DELETE buttons still one next to the other, buttons still too small and too close to each other...? BIG body.... relatively small screen.... I can only hope this is a fake mock-up.

i saw a picture somewhere, if it was genuine, it looked exactly the same as m8 but the top is perfectly flat (speed dial moved to behind) to add more space inside presumably, not much character to it, very bland looking, like a boring cake of soap that you can hardly tell which side you are looking at, but probably very functional (arguably)

I have to admit to being a fan of minimalism ... if Leica can produce a camera that delivers the goods and looks like your description ... I think people (certain people) will be falling over themselves to get their hands on one!

Or not! :p
 
I think it's fake. if Leica M is going to join Mpix race, that will be a dead end ...
10 to 12 MPix with IQ similar to Canon CMOS, with high ISO noise like film grain, truly quiet shutter - that would be fine to see. They can do that, I know, we know...
