My (English) March/April 2004 LFI has just arrived, and I notice that
beside the "M7 Digital" pictures are the words

 "Pure speculation on our part: this is
  what the digital M might look like. Leica
  has not yet decided on the backside
  control elements, the camera's design or
  even the name. Doing away with the
  quick wind lever is the only thing that can
  be considered definite."

So the pictures are an "artist's impression" by LFI, not from Leica.
