shutter speed vs motion blur

ok I now this was a divisive topic when the M10R came out where some people said theres absolutely no different but some people said everything is blurred unless you go 1/250 or faster shutter. 

From my experience of the M10R, while there seems to be a different as I need to shot with more care and perhaps one stop faster to make sure theres no blur (at pixel level) I could handheld consistently shooting sharp images on 35mm at 1/60. So the big question for me is, does the 60MP M11 requires me to use even faster shutter speeds?

I was able to get a hands-on with the M11 today.  Our rep was at the Leica Boutique here at the only camera shop left in Las Vegas.  It's basically a corner of the store set up for Leica.  I took some shots with the M11 and a 35mm Summilux and thought it was nice, but at ISO 64 indoors I could only go to 1/60th of a second at f/1.4 before I got some motion blur.  I shot on my own SD card and was able to look at the images on my own computer.  

I didn't get much time with it and in fairness I'm sure the images would have been better at a little higher ISO and a faster shutter speed.  Like anything, you need some time with it to really maximize its capabilities.  It has some nice features that I like.  The OVF seemed brighter than my M10 and I like the internal memory.  Also ISO 64 would be great in the right situation.  I would really consider an M11 then next time I buy a new camera, but  that's probably down the road a little bit right now.

My experience is to continue to use the (1/2f) sec rule, i.e., 1/60 for 35mm.
