To bad that so many details of the M9 leaked prior to the presentation

I think Leica came up a great idea to present the M9 on 9/9/09 and have it shipped immidiately. They also did an incredible job, together with Kodak, to develop a FF M camera despite the technical difficulties. I also think it was a great idea by them to briefly show the M9 in the video anouncing the presentation

 

I therefore felt a bit sorry for the people who came up with this marketing idea that so many details of the M9 leaked, in particular, the microsite and the broshure.

 

Anyway, I am sure the camera will be a big success, and I must confess that the grey model with a brown leather strap that Seal was wearing looked really cool.

 

BTW, I would have taken a red eye to NYC for an S2 (in particular if Leica paid for the 1st class ticket )

I think he said the camera across his shoulder was film M not an M9.

 

The poor guy really wanted a free M9 but kept making bad jokes about the S2 and ended up getting that instead. LOL

Missed the presentation on line, is it on You Tube or anywhere (can't find it!)

I agree. I hate leaked specs. It made the presentation seem like old news, lol. But was finally a relief to know the leaked rumors were true.

 

I think Seal did a fantastic job. Looked like what he said was from the heart and not from a script. A great person to represent the company. Class act.

I second both points you raised there.

The poor guy already has had a M9 for three months or so... the S2 is just an add-on.

 

Why do always those people get freebies that really don't need it?
