He is not saying that will be no new camera but that it will not be called a M7. Herr Cohn has stated very strongly in both the recent and distant past that there will be no M7 only further developments of the M6. The M6 developed into the M6TTL, with an infusion of R8 electronics, and now a sister electronic camera will be offered. I expect Mark will be right and it will be called a M6 AE. Herr Cohn also stated that it will be a sister to the mechanical M not a replacement. This raises the spectre of distributors having to stock two different M cameras available in two finishes and with three viewfinders. That comes to twelve different cameras! And we are not even talking about any special editions! I feel sorry for Leica dealers.
