Title should read "morning" i was just too excited
I saw an unusual Leica this morning at breakfast. It had gaffer tape on the front. It was shaped like the titanium M9. More rounded and without a full wrap around cover. The photographer was downloading photos wirelessly to his iPad from it.
I went over to speak with him at point blank asked if that was an M10. He admitted it. It was 36mp. The lens was a large 35mm 0.95.
The back looked like it had a built in thumbs-up.
He let me hold it. I was surprised the frame lines were sort of a digital overlay rather than the normal optical projected I am used to. The front of the camera had one fewer window than my M8. I think there was some type of LED focus confirmation.
I took a few photos of it. Pretty cool way to start April.

I thought it was better than posting a "WTT Leica M9 for Nikon D800" ad.

Good effort actually. Well thought through on the technical details, just the right tone. In a different school this might have done better. 9/10.

Good effort. Try this on the Leica subforum of DPreview, they'll go nuts!

Have mentioned this several times before. It would make sense with regards to easier manufacturing (read: cost reduction) while conveying a sense of modernity with the greater part of the clientele.
Needless to say I'm fiercely opposed to it
, since it's more electronics.
We need photos. Not of the camera, of the lovely residents of South Beach.

I think a few weeks ago that same guy was taking these shots with an iPhone 5: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-Queen-popped-congratulate-shocked-bride.html
Those barely classify as photos, it looks more like paintings done with skittle dye.

Sure, the iPhone 5 needs more beta testing.

Impressionistic imaging, great color, rare subject matter....what's not to like
Actually, I do like them. And, if you were to blow them up poster size, you may even add a pixilated look to the softness.
The next time I see that old lady w/ the hat walking around my neighborhood, I'll have the Nikon ready! Or the M11.2.
