wilfredo Posted January 23, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 23, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Now that the M8 has made history, both good and bad, but mostly good, what will come next from Leica? What will the M9 look like? Are there any plans for a Digital SLR? Cheers, Wilfredo (Happy M8 Owner) Benitez-Rivera Photography Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted January 23, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 23, 2008 The R10 is coming this autumn. Probably... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHAG Posted January 24, 2008 Share #3 Posted January 24, 2008 Meaning the M9 would be due for 2009 ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angora Posted January 24, 2008 Share #4 Posted January 24, 2008 M9 for 2009, R10 for 2010. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted January 24, 2008 Share #5 Posted January 24, 2008 M9 for 2009, R10 for 2010. Could be the reverse! Photokina ahoy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemalk Posted January 24, 2008 Share #6 Posted January 24, 2008 Could be the reverse! Photokina ahoy! And that's just the *announcement*! Then factor in the availability dates and the inevitable production and delivery delays.... it takes less time to make a human being from scratch!

andybarton Posted January 24, 2008 Share #7 Posted January 24, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) .... it takes less time to make a human being from scratch! Ahh, but the blue print for a human is generally tried and tested, and usually only two operatives are required to complete the process.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhsimmonds Posted January 24, 2008 Share #8 Posted January 24, 2008 Ahh, but the blue print for a human is generally tried and tested, and usually only two operatives are required to complete the process....

stunsworth Posted January 24, 2008 Share #9 Posted January 24, 2008 But quality control of the final product is often more fallible! But then again there seems to be a high level of job satisfaction amongst the staff, and many operatives are prepared to practise their skills at no cost to the management.

Guest guy_mancuso Posted January 24, 2008 Share #11 Posted January 24, 2008 My prediction M9 and R10 at Photokinia this year announced. Same sensor technology oversize R10 and FF M9 with electronic framelines. 18-22 mpx, no AA filter and still CCD sensors. Bring them on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdemas Posted January 24, 2008 Share #13 Posted January 24, 2008 I'd love to see a really well executed thumb wheel, as on my Grd, on the next MD. To be able to change even just ISO without lifting your eye from the viewfinder would be terrific. Some kind of in viewfinder notification of selection would be needed. As for guesses about what's coming up I wonder if we may see the B&W only M8 that has been tossed out there on occassion. Kent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring them on At least the cost of upgrading to the M9 from the M8,will be less than the cost of upgrading from an M6 to the M8.What started as a camera body which would take almost all the M series lenses finished as a body and a shed load of money on 6 bit conversions/lensed back to Leica that where ok on a film M,and in my case extra lenses.

elansprint72 Posted January 24, 2008 Share #17 Posted January 24, 2008 I think Photokina will be very interesting for Leica photographers. Cheers, Sean Surely photographers are interested in photographs, not the means of taking/making them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Roberts Posted January 25, 2008 Share #18 Posted January 25, 2008 Surely photographers are interested in photographs, not the means of taking/making them? Actually, most photographers I know are interested in the means of "making" a photograph (the entire process to the finished image) and less interested than, say, an art critic (or whoever) in the actual finished photograph (especially, often, their own ) Since the camera is a small part of the process, it follows that those that make images are interested in them. Ok--I suppose your question was rhetorical. But still--obviously for those who care about the camera part of the art, and the Leica digital part in particular, Photokina will be interesting.

ptomsu Posted January 25, 2008 Share #19 Posted January 25, 2008 Definitely interested in the making-tool, the camera! What else does influence the final result as much? If you do not get it right from scratch, most post processing and projection/printing/displaying will not help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
