"How about a Leica digital rangefinder without LCD screen?

 

Rumors about a Leica digital rangefinder without LCD screen have been
floating for a while, but lately I keep receiving tips from various sources
that Leica may actually announce such a camera at Photokina - it will be a
special limited edition that will have an ISO dial on back instead of a LCD
screen. The camera will only capture color uncompressed RAW files and will
have the same sensor as in the M 240. The thickness and dimensions will also
be similar to the M240. The new camera will be simplified with less
dials/buttons and no video recording capabilities. The selling price will be
higher than the M 240 ($6,950.00). For now, take this rumor with a grain of
salt."
