So I heard it from a fly on the wall (actually a Leica rep told a reader this info) that the Leica M10, which is speculated by many to have a CMOS sensor (Stefan Daniel of Leica stated CMOS is the future), live view (Ditto), 24Mp sensor, EVF and or course HD video (strongly hinted at and suggested by Dr. Kaufman in May) and much improved high ISO performance, is 100% going to be announced at Photokina next month

Revisiting the Leica M8: a cheap entry into digital rangefinders?
Latte Ninja. Leica M8, 21/1.4 ASPH In the last few years, rangefinders (effectively only the Leica M system) have experienced something of a renaissance; I think partially due to the market being o…

This is where a second hand M8 starts to make some sense: you can find clean, low-mileage examples in the US$2,000-2,500 range

Leica claims it’s their most perfect lens ever – the MTF charts certainly support this, but we will of course have to use it in the field to see if a) these claims bear out, and more importantly b) whether we can see the difference under typical shooting conditions.

So that said, I scratched my head in puzzlement at Leica’s chutzpah in announcing this model which still retains an old LCD screen and no auto-focus, and that can be pre-ordered at a number of retailers (Adorama has it) for $7,950 or about $1000 more than the M9!

I shot some video of the event and took some shots and will have those up later but wanted to throw this quick post up showing some high ISO images that I snapped with the Leica Monochrome.
Keep in mind these were quick grab shots in darkness so I am not evaluating anything until I get to use the camera in daylight and while really concentrating on using it.

In addition to the Monochrome M body, I also think that Leica will announce a new X2 compact camera and maybe even one new M lens (probably 50mm Summicron). The silver Leica X1 is already discontinued and not even in stock at B&H, Adorama and Dale. The X2
