My "spies" tell me that the R10d (which, I understand, is to be 
Leica's next project, if the M8d (or whatever it's to be called) is a 
success) is to be built in an R8/9 shell, but with all the film guts 
removed, so that all the DMR stuff will fit into the shell... should 
be no big problem. Rumour has it that focus confirmation is planned, as well.

The R11d (assuming both the M8, M8 and R10 are successes) is to cram 
it all into a smaller, R4-through-7 size shell.

Drool on, my friend!

Cheers!
