Nope, not even any rumours right now.  In fact, nothing but the usual rumours of rumours.  The Hexar RF might have been the M7, but it ain't no Leica.  I think that smart money is betting against a digital M right now, due to technical issues.  There may be a digital offspring of the miscegenation of Leica and Matsushita, but I don't think it will be an M.

Get the M6TTL.  What's the worst that can happen - you're going to be buying more Leicas in this lifetime anyway, right?  If they make a new one later, buy it too.

Hi all,

Before I get my M6 ttl, does anybody know if a new Leica M is in
development ?
 
Hope it's not going to be a M7 with a CDD sensor of 6 Mp :-)

Best regards,
