[Leica] even more important news on the digital front

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

Tom A. has talked to K-san. Not likely to happen; not on the horizon. 
Mr. Kobayashi is uninterested in doing anything digital and 
apparently wasn't overjoyed with the Epson experience as per 
conversations with Tom.

There were rumours that Nikon my try something, but if it ever were 
true it's now on hold for a while. Nikon suffered a lot from the 
quake/tsunami.

M10 with new sensor (Sony?) will be the next thing. Maybe a Fuji X200 
with interchangeable lenses?

Reumours and speculations. Meanwhile, the M8,9 and available lenses 
work just fine. The 'next thing' isn't actually necessary at all.
