Hi Christian, The Hasselblad folks have been reading the many "M7" suggestions from photographers on the LUG! :) If they haven't, they've been mind reading! According to the press release discription, this sounds very much like a re-vamped M6 to what many commented "what they'd like to see in a new M7" There are a couple of questions: price (important to many of us) and how quickly they'll be available. It wont be long and one of our stalwart LUG members will have one in hand for a down to earth critique. Sure sounds interesting. The question that comes to mind.....What does Leica have up it's sleeve as a counter measure? ted
