Two hours ago my hands were filled with a M7. Should I get emotional and babble about the moving experience or just tell you straight out how this M user of 40 plus years felt about this new entry into the Leica legacy. Išll pick the latter and tell you that the electronic readout in the viewfinder is clear and easy to read and if not in the AE mode you still have triangles and dot of the M6. The on/off switch is there outside the shutter release collar just like in the pictures and the new exposure indexing wheel on the back is a true improvement, DX reading, ISO setting and over/under compensation with a lock button. There appears to be no other changes. I did not see AE lock or higher flash sync, lighting bolt still at spot on the dial. I did not have a lot of time with the camera and did not get into the users manual so this is not an in depth report. The MAP is less than $2500 and it should be on your dealers shelve in May 2002. It is a nice improvement but certainly not innovative or revolutionary.
