I believe it was at an LSI meeting that Stefan Daniel was asked to produce an EVF-M. It would be the right event to announce such a camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be the right event to announce such a camera. Yes, it was the Dublin meeting. He was unequivocal at the time, and challenged the LSI to come up with 1000 orders if I remember correctly. He was sporting the yet to be announced 'new' M6 at the event. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tseg Posted yesterday at 12:25 PM Share #3003 Posted yesterday at 12:25 PM 9 months into the rumor, and still a rumor. Makes me think the prototype missed the mark pretty bad, at least initially. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus possibly a lens or two. Let the speculation continue. But my guess is no better than anyone else on the Forum as thankfully I have no 'inside knowledge' whatsoever!

chrismuc Posted yesterday at 12:56 PM Share #3006 Posted yesterday at 12:56 PM Is there any indication if the M EV1 will be based on an M camera body or a Q? IMO it would be much easier for Leica to create a M mount into the Q, than integrating an EVF into a M. And it would have the benefit of IBIS.

UliWer Posted yesterday at 12:57 PM Share #3007 Posted yesterday at 12:57 PM Advertisement (gone after registration) The rumor about a presentation of a new M with electronic viewfinder only on October 23rd is obviously confirmed: This is the day of an event at Wetzlar with Peter Karbe with the title "M like Magic - the fascination of the optical rangefinder" (my translation, the event is only announced in German): https://leica-camera.com/de-DE/event/m-wie-magie-peter-karbe-ueber-die-faszination-des-leica-messersuchers (I wonder what the "rumor" site will make out of my posting as they are even posting mockups of the "new" camera made up by readers.) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it would be much easier for Leica to create a M mount into the Q, than integrating an EVF into a M. And it would have the benefit of IBIS. The Q3 has a combined lens, leaf shutter, OIS and sensor assembly; all this needs to be replaced with a M-mount, mechanical shutter, a new sensor board, with possibly a IBIS drive assembly. M just needs EVF optics. Either way there will be compromises; Leica should engage with the community during the launch event, and show us their development pains, so we understand.

UliWer Posted yesterday at 01:26 PM Share #3010 Posted yesterday at 01:26 PM Well, this may tell you something about some dealers in HK. The „rumor“ site calls it „M EV-1“ - since a few days. Perhaps the dealer in HK will accept pre-release deposits for this camera as well now, and the rumor site will take this as a confirmation for their rumors.

Leica have been promoting the rangefinder in last few months, with a big article in LFI and some other publicity. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UliWer Posted yesterday at 01:35 PM Share #3017 Posted yesterday at 01:35 PM (edited) You have just quoted it. I wrote that the rumor was confirmed. Isn’t that enough? I think I am fully entitled to start my own rumors based on my own sources like others do as well. That‘s enough. Believe me or not.

IMO it would be much easier for Leica to create a M mount into the Q, than integrating an EVF into a M. And it would have the benefit of IBIS. The shutter and stabilization of Q cameras are integrated in Q's lens, not the body. Q's sensor is likely tuned to the Q's lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
