Or in the case of the working pros on the LUG we're having a fantastic time and the M7 is working beautifully and flawlessly. And in my case I have two more M7's on order with .72 viewfinders to match the first, as trying to work with two M6's and one M7 is one great big pain in the butt. Your reliable source is about as reliable as any other thing we hear on what is and what isn't going to happen. And as far as "problems" with the M7? There aren't any problems, only wonderful solutions of making our work much easier and more accurate. Without question faster, easier, quicker, funfilled and one damn fine camera without question. This is from and old guy who for a very long time never wanted to see the M6 changed. Whew, am I ever glad they didn't listen to me and made the changes anyway. Besides if you buy an M7 now you get a year to play with it waiting for the revolutionary changes to take place. If they do. ;-) Besides you can always sell it if the "reliable source" is correct! ;-) Don't wait son, go for it and have some adrenaline pumped through your photographer veins, you'll love it. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant > and also adds some "new twists," including perhaps a hinged back, a built-in > ultra quiet motor drive, a full assortment of manual shutter speeds, and a > "digital component." > > I'd like to know if any of you have heard of this?
