I'm surprised to not see any posts on the M itself thus far.
Still it may be 4 or 6 months or so before anyone actually gets one. Very
likely some will be in reviewer's hands before then I imagine.
I'll be very interested to see how the new sensor and processor perform. I
already have the very best lenses I want to use with it. I don't need the
other stuff myself but it appears to have every wished for option that has
emerged since the launch of the M9.

Cheers,
Geoff
