You're right Nathan its bad news that the pixel pitch (size in microns) is
6.8 ?m pixel pitch with both the m8 and m9.
As the glow wears off this is going to near ruin the party.
The Leica M9 does not need to have super camera (Nikon D3x) specs.
It needs to be a shooting persons camera and have a lower pitch.
For higher signal-to-noise ratio and exceptionally wide dynamic range,
It has to be a Leica. Something which will get people to put down their high
iso shooting full frame DSLR's and use it instead because its got way better
glass and is a rangefinder camera.


So this 12 mp camera has to come out as I've been saying
With ISO's on the dial hitting close to the 100,000 digital mark.
Do they call that 5 digits or 6?
5 zeros I guess.
