With M8 is better a fine Luigi case with unremovable back... he can do it on order.

I have a couple of fine FF Ms without an LCD screen already. One of them is even completely battery-independent. I can get digital images out of them within the hour. I get a new sensor with every exposure too.

Next?

Brainstorming.... Well, brainstorming is a technical used in creativity meetings in order to get new and fresh ideas about the same problems. This technical consist in starting with a situation, problem, or whatever you want.... propose new and, may be sometimes, crazy ideas in order to find a solution. One of the rules of this meetings is, nobody can say anything too serious about the ideas of the rest of the people of the meeting, because the main objective of this meetings is find something new.
The first crazy ideas that people aid, increase with new comments of the rest and step by step could be possible with the collaboration of all the people of the group find new solutions or new functions for a product, problem or the item on study.

The only thing that I want to say is .... When I started this thread, I only wanted to get some new & fresh ideas about the possibility that a New M9 without LCD screen will be possible, but I could have said for example that the New M9 would have autofocus, when never in the history of the M's this exist.....I only wanted to start a brainstormig meeting in this thread and not a stupid or ridiculous thing....

In my job position in a R&D Center in a multinational company, that have factories in more that 57 countries, we usually plan brainstorming meetings and anybody says your idea is not good, they only say their own ideas and after everybody talked, is the group with the mix of all the ideas who takes the decission of choose one idea o some of then and develop them.

Sorry for the inconveniences of the thread with this crazy idea.

I enjoyed a lot reading the post....

adanfueyo,

We have lost count of the number of threads that start like yours. There is a certain level of cynical weariness, to say the least, that results in the sort of responses you have got so far.

If you want to "play a game" like brainstorming, then it is a good idea to set the rules before you invite contributions from the floor, and maybe start from a stronger premise?

Regards,

Bill

Repeat...

This is too much, but the screen would give more space to put FF without having to increase the thickness of the camera and add a touch of analog and no photos to look after "develop" digital .. ..

What do you think?

I didn't ask.

I was actually hoping that we'd be able to spread an emulsion on the LCD panel and develop an analogue image.

Oh yes, that would definitely make a great gadget out of an M9

... this doesn't automatically mean that you are good at it .................if your post here is indicative of your thinking ......ah humn

On a slightly more serious and on-topic note, I owned an RD-1 and the articulated (flip-out) screen scared the daylights out of me. I guess it's supposed to be a wonderful feature on cams like the D5000. I agree that LCDs are at least a must-have for menu purposes and probably a very useful tool for things like histogram review (I like the "info" display on the M8), but as far as swing-out, I am a chicken and a clumsy one at that...

Not that crazy i feel. If you're like me you don't like much this LCD thing i guess. I don't use it during shootings and i even don't see it at all then as it is reversible. My DRFs are not Leicas though (Epson R-D1 & R-D1s).

Guess I have been digital to long :-)

Kinda like looking at the FM radio in the car to see what song is playing, and realizing that it ISN'T the XM.

Perhaps find some sheet film holders, press them firmly against the LCD, and whip the darkslide out and in quickly?

Couldn't somebody make a Polaroid back that would fit the LCD screen?

What's wrong with just taking a Polaroid picture of the screen? Provides for some perspective correction at the same time.

Ah the M9P with no LCD and a built in thermal color printer! Does anyone have Stefan Daniels phonenumber for me? Then I wil give him a call immediately to inform him of our wishes.
