Let's just see the Photokina announcement about the Leica M7. 
Lets here a direct quote from it. My money goes to no, a fig newton of someones
wishful imagination. And close to irresponsible to toss it back at us and not
too smart to toss it up further. Dumb rumor mongering is my opinion. What do we
want the M7 to be? A Contax G2 with depth of field scales? It really is boring
how content I am with my M6. A faster sync speed would please be Ok but it's all
picky picky picky. I love the camera. It doesn't need to be rethunk for me.
