Matt that video and that discussion elsewhere does pre-date the one that you
have mentioned. However the video link that I provided is from Sept 09 with
the M9 release.
I'm just an interested customer too of course. I guess that many of us will
be waiting to hear what, if any, changes or new products are announced at
Photokina. There is a new CEO as well, as you probably know.
Cheers
