[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I could see a 'little brother' version to the M9, sort of like the M2 to the
M3:
higher ISO, 10-12 MP pixel count, and a sensor optimized for B&W.
I'd be on it like a duck on a june bug.
But then again, maybe there'll be an X2 with a dedicated 28mm equivalent.

Subject: [Leica] M9 improvements
I can think of at least the following that would be included in a future M10:
- better high ISO performance (whether or not at the cost of reducing pixel
count must depend on the state of sensor technology in a couple of years)
- a flip-out LCD with Live View
- video capability
- geo tagging and other snazzy features found on modern cameras
- wifi or bluetooth or 3G/4G capability
Not all of these are important to me personally (the first two are), but I
can imagine that they are for the market.
