[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]The April 2004 (hmmm... a bit suspicious) edition of Leica Fotographie International has an article on the new M7 Digital. It's absolutely gorgeous. I'm typing this from a hotel in Berlin, so I can't post the photos, but here are the details: * 10 megapixel * To be released in Photokina 2006 * It's the same height as the M6 -- no extra 2mm of the M6TTL/M7 ! * No wind lever like the R-D1, so there must be no physical shutter or it's motor charged * No frameline preview lever (a bit disturbing) * The rewind lever is M3/MP type -- most probably the same function as on the R-D1 * Very sleek * No pricing given Once I'm back in the U.S. on Sunday, I'll send scans of the front/back pix. Karen p.s. Roman -- thanks for the list! I've only had time to visit a few places, but I've had a very good time. -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/
