Ahh.... the Photokina rumors begin.
I would expect to see a M with the T rear screen
touch panel. Be the first to photoshop one.

How about a M made out of both solid brass & aluminum.
Brass for black paint models & aluminum for the base model.

And eliminate video recording. That's what smart
phones & low end pocket size P&S are for.

All above dreamed during wide awake daylight hours.
