People who know, can't say. People who heard, are saving their pennies :-)

Slightly larger than M8, no IR issues, 18-20 MP, full frame, About
$8000, delivery by end of the year or Feb 2010. My source is the horde
of gossiping poodles!

The idiotic thing about owning Leica is, when Nikon pulled that trick
($8000) with the D3X, they were ridiculed with Hilter, no less. But
with Leica? $8000 sounds almost like a good deal!!!
