There are more than one and less than 100 beta cameras out there since the first of the year or so. Initial reports are that it is doing a great job. Same issues as on any sensor, the old sensor well vignetting issue is being worked on. On a personal view with absolutely no info to corroborate I think the camera will relate to the existing M's in the same way that an M5 relates to the old M's. Traditionalists will absolutely hate the design, hate the sound of the new shutter, hate whatever ergonomic changes occur due to a screen and gasp! buttons. But, for those of us who love rangefinders, it will be a very useful tool. Don don.dory@gmail.com On 4/25/06, B. D.
