Tough to see the business case for ever producing a new film camera. Derivative of the M7 maybe but for film users, the message is pretty clear: what you see now is what you are ever going to get. Leica M7, Nikon F6, that's the way it's going to be.

Leica's future commercial survival comes from selling lots of M8s and especially lots of new lenses to go with them. Then there's 4/3 and a possible R10 but the common theme throughout is digital.
