Statement from Leica Camera AG - 26/02/08

'Already, in the working hours since the departure of Steven Lee, the  
Leica product development team has begun to review the M system  
strategy. It is too early to say what changes will be made; however  
it is likely that the path may differ from the one set by Steven Lee.  
In any case, the M8 will continue to be our flagship camera into  
2009. We can confirm that comments made during PMA regarding the  
possibility of an M8 upgrade to full frame were premature and we  
apologise if one of them gave a too optimistic outlook.



It is true that it is the desire of Leica to consider full frame  
within the M system, however the final decision regarding the  
appropriate camera body configuration has yet to be made.'
