Usually companies try to hide their announcement day but Leica is not. Leicarumors got the hands on this invitation for a September 17th event: “The expectations are for a new Leica M10, S3, D-Lux 6, V-Lux 4 and maybe even a redesigned Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH and a new 28mm Summilux-M f/1.4.“
The M10 is “rumored” to be the first Leica M camera with Cmos sensor and live view. About time I would say! Question is again…who will make that sensor?

Sony!
If this is the same sensor as the Sony A99 and Nikon D600 maybe it will be more afordable (in Leica terms).
Sony Did…. but I didn’t care even they using the X3 Foveon Sensor…..Leica is not affordable for me…..
…unfortunately, the registration link is mission in the above posted invitation… 😛
What mission? Mission impossible? What do you mean?

The rumors include a new Leica M10, a redesigned APO-Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH and a new Summilux-M 28mm f/1.4.
Is it going to have proper manual focus assist or still that 1930s’ kludge?
That “1930’s cludge” as your pathetic self has called it is far superior than anything any micro-four turds or Sony BLEX could ever hope to achieve. Ahh you peasants and your needs to seem so “hip”, but doing those things that prove to we the photographic elite that you are nothing more than one step removed from bilge slime.
I bet you are the type that thinks your equipment makes you a “photographer” when in truth all you are is a fauxtoggrapher
Blah blah blah I offended your camera? Boooh go to mummy. Whoops sorry elite, I did not see who I was talking to.
@camerageek
it’s a bitch trying to defend an overpriced piece of garbage commonly known as called leica isn’t it?
He is a Leicock.
This statement:
“I bet you are the type that thinks your equipment makes you a “photographer” when in truth all you are is a fauxtoggrapher”
…Right after you prayed to the Gods of Leica, really really doesnt serve to your cause!
Try not to contradict yourself that much in the same post.
This is a geek, which means: no sex, no money and some sort of small pride based on a random item to compensate. He chose a Leica camera.
If Leica pricing policies continue, this new camera may generate results similar to other mirrorless systems, but sell for 3-4x the price. Those little red dots aren’t cheap!
This is another SONY camera in the market. Sony rules indeed !!!
That’s not all that’s coming… 😉

sony sucks so do you
Regardless of price, or maybe because of it, no other company makes a lens with the
optical excellence of a Leica. Canon, Nikon, Zeiss, Cosina and possibly others have or could attain the engineering skill, optical manufacturing capability and assembly expertise to manufacture a lens equal to – or perhaps better – than a
Leica lens, but they would have to price it comparably. Raytheon makes high quality lenses, but their market is spy satellites with the capability to read your license plate from 22,000 feet up – but only our government can afford them.
Rather than nit pick the current state of the art in lenses, I’d rather see your best work with whatever you can afford – there have been some wonderful images captured with the single use film boxes or inexpensive digital cameras. It’s not about what’s available and what it costs, it’s about what you can do with what you got.
