Inventory is, to say the least, minimal. It makes no difference if Leica offers 2 or 27 different flavors of M cameras. I do not see this as changing. The markup on cameras is too slim and the inventory turnover for most dealers is too small. For the big guys like B+H, they will just use size of inventory to beat their cost down. The electronic + mechanical parts of a electromechanical camera are not necessarily bigger or smaller than the mechanical parts of a mechanical shutter. The body of this M7 may be the same size as the Classic. or TTL. We will need to wait.
