My Pentax K5 has it and I never use it. 2) I find the buffer on my M8 adequate, so as long as it is not worse, then I am fine. 3) Double yawn. 4) YES. I find the hybrid viewfinder on my Fuji X100 the most significant photo technology innovation of the past several years. The main reason I like it is that it allows for macro shooting without parallax error. 5) Not a big deal for me, I just have a couple of spares in my bag. 6) The norm? Since when? 12 or 18 is more than enough. 7) More yawn. 8) YES! A usable ISO 6400 would be great. Surely Leica can do as well as my Pentax K5?! 9) Sure, why not. Will make the second-hand M9 I plan to buy once the M10 is released and the "must-have-the-latest" crowd are upgrading in volume, cheaper. 10) No. Cheers, Nathan Nathan Wajsman Alicante, Spain http://www.frozenlight.eu http://www.greatpix.eu http://www.nathanfoto.com PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws Blog: http://nathansmusings.wordpress.com/ YNWA On Feb 7, 2012, at 7:36 PM, mehrdad wrote: > it seems that the new m digital is around the corner (sep/oct), what shall > we expect after three years and 8k price? > > > i for one do need the following > > > 1) image stabilization built in to the body (they can licsnce this > technology from sony, thier old partner) > 2) much better buffer and more frames per second > 3) shooting movies with m (not for me) > 4) fuji x10/pro like view finder > 5) better battery life and better battery > 6) 36 meg is now the norm, so something close > 7) a built in 1.4x magnifier, that u can use at will > 8) all the given dynamic range and high iso performance (it is now three > yrs later) > 9) a better price but i think is is truly a dream > 10) do we care about live view? > -- > ------------------------------------- > regards, mehrdad > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >
