Now, if the M10 has movie capability in bw, it might have some appeal to me. What I'd like to see is a $1500 range-finder with Leica-speed shutter responce and mounts for Leica lenses. Leica is wide open, super vulnerable, to encroachment from lower cost, high quality camera makers whose sensors are compatible with Photoshop. Leica's high selling prices leaves room for them to be undersold by a high quality competitor. It is vulnerable to companies that develop their own chips. Leica's advantage is their lenses, but their prices are climbing at at rate that makes slightly lesser lenses look much more appealing. Maybe I'm wrong, but Leica seems like a bubble to me, a cash cow that's getting milked. Doug
