[Leica] No M9 in the near future

[imagist3 at mac.com (Lottermoser George)]

The latest information, made public, Leica considers the M8 their  
flag ship product.
Can't you just accept that they're serious about digital range finder  
cameras;
recognize that they're a tiny little high end camera and lens company;
which has little to nothing in common with;
Nikon or Canon;
other than the fact that the three companies make good photo gear.

If you want to discuss competitive camera business models lets bring  
Alpa into the discussion.
Now there's a wonderful esoteric camera maker;
or the Linhof panoramas - always wanted one of those - how many were  
manufactured over the life of the product?

Fond regards,
George
