Said to be too expensive to incorporate now. The M9 firmware was from scratch, apparently. No IR filter required. Not economically feasible as it would require the sensor to be replaced amongst other things Auto exposure bracketing, Easier Exposure compensation setting, I think these could be done in firmware and probably the Soft and Soft+Discreet shutter release options too 14 bit files Maybe??? Early prototype M8s had this, however whether the file size handling penalties are acceptable??? 2009/11/17 Bob Adler <rgacpa at yahoo.com> > Lens selection > No IR filter required > Auto exposure bracketing > Easier Exposure compensation setting > New M9 Shutter release features (I forget exactly what it is, but something > to do with a half press...) > 14 bit files > > to name a few.... > Bob Adler > Palo Alto, CA > http://www.raflexions.com > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Richard Man <richard.lists at gmail.com> > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Sent: Mon, November 16, 2009 12:44:22 PM > Subject: Re: [Leica] New Stefan Daniel question and answer session > > --> - Leica thinks about to include M9 features into M8 cameras after > charging a fee, > > What possible features can be incorporated? > > On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 12:20 PM, Geoff Hopkinson <hopsternew at gmail.com> > wrote: > > Andreas at the L Camera Forum has published a dot point summary.
