1. Frameline illumination window 2.Give it back the classic metering mode (It's really not that hard to just paint the middle shutter leaf grey, is it?). One of rangefinder's biggest advantage is that the shutter will instantly fire when you press the button. 3.compadibility with the dual range summicron 4.Automatic colour shift corrections for lenses like the super-angulon 21/4  5.Give it a rotating screen(so you can hide it. Search the Nikon ZF if you don't know what I am talking about). On the back side add the MD262 styled ISO dial(so basically when you are shooting, you would idealy shoot with the screen hidden, with ISO dials facing out to remove the distractions. 6.Exposure Comp. dial in the place of M11's Iso dial 7.Give it back the film like colours from the M9 and M240 8.Add a tiny M8 styled LED screen in the place of M11's function button(next to the shutter button, which is the place of the film counter on the film cameras). Give it the function of displaying the numbers left or the exposure readings(for better waist lever shooting experience) 9.Add back the removable bottom plate. 10.Add back the two plastic strips proteccting the camera from scratches from the strap. 11.Add back M9 styled on switch, but remove the continuous mode(which is rarely used). The timer mode is quite useful on tripods when you dont't have a shutter release cable. 12. Add the M9 styled shutter mode (discreet+soft). This might not be necessary because M11's pre-existing shutter is already very quited, but I thought that it would be a very cool feature to add. 13.Maybe a mechanically cocked shutter like the epson RD-1? A lot of people will be against this idea, I can imagine. 14.I don't really care what sensor they use. I wouldn't even mind if they slap the M240's onto the M12. Don't give it such a high pixel count, as the rangefinder system is not accurate enough to put the focusing point perfectly onto the focal plane. Or at least give it an option to merge multiple pixels into one like the M11, giving it options for something like 24MP. I do care about the dynamic range because I kept getting blown highlights while trying to get my subjects in the correct exposure on my M240. 15.Give it a real brass body, even for the black ones. Also, if people really want it to be light, just make three versions:silver chrome brass,Black paint brass and black paint aluminium 16.Instant startup. I don't want to miss my descisive moment. My M240 takes 5 seconds to start up when there is around 40 GB of images in my 128GB card. 17. Give it a higher magnification finder(or at least make it an option, like the M6 0.72 and 0.85). Maybe 0.85? 18.Maybe IBIS? This would not be necessary because you can only use prime lenses on Leica(with the exception of the 16-18-21) which have a large aperture, making it easier in low light condition. 19.Please do not add video like the M240. No leica M users cares about video, which is impossible to use without AF. M is purely for stills. 20.Hopefully it has a similar weight as the M3(~500 grams)

What kind of flash is being used here on Q3?
