Can’t wait for the eventual discussions regarding use of vintage lenses, adding grain (noise), use of high ISOs, etc to achieve a more filmic rendering and to offset the ultra clean resolution. And others competing to see who can achieve  the biggest prints (or farthest viewing distance) using all that resolution.  Fun times.

So true. Really the only thing to me that would totally justify the purchase is if they do somehow get IBIS in this thing. I don't care about the MPXs.

I do like the M10 body better but that is negligible and not a big deal.

I don't know how that can be done with a rangefinder system, but it sure would be great. I'd be thrilled with some good weatherproofing.

Talk about amazing timing. I brought the mail in today there was a completely unanticipated check for $10,000. Suddenly I'm rethinking this purchase I'd been planning to hold off on.

lol, I can't tell if you are joking or not. If you aren't, you will likely have $1k left over to send to me for my M10M purchase..  :  )

engineering is not my strong suit. I'm not sure how it would work but I would think it sits around the sensor and the rangefinder mechanism is in the front of the camera so my guess is that there is a way to get it to work room wise.

Totally serious. Right out of the blue. I immediately said to my wife, "Well, there's my new camera."

Then there are possible issues with heat management, battery life, etc.  No free lunch (although I guess $10k checks can appear from heaven).

I don't believe in heaven, but I'm also starting to rethink that.

Brent, was the check from the Democratic Republic of the Congo? Do you have another $5M waiting for you if you just send $20k?  🤣

I asked to be on the waitlist 17th of July 2018 and yesterday my Leica Store said I'm number one and they wanted a 500€ deposit, I think thats pretty much a confirmation. They said its coming in January at around 8000€. 

have you been able to confirm the 8000 euro price?

Actually, it's drawn on the National Bank of Nigeria. Should I be suspicious? 🤔

(Seriously, it was a royalty payment for display photos I provided to a large sports arena over a year ago. I'd forgotten all about it.)

I hope this will be the price, or even more expensive. Then I'll not have to make a decision which might be totally unreasonable.

I fear that Leica might think of an "incentive" price tag to lure some people into making a very unreasonable decision.
