Here are a few interesting rumors again:

  • a digital camera with fixed focal length. Something like a digital CM?
  • a digital M. The problems with the small distance between sensor and lens exit plane and the resulting issues from the flat light incidence on the sensor are supposed to be solved by a microlens array over the sensor.
  • not so nice: job cuts. Something like that never sounds quite right.

The first is interesting for everyone who finds the previous digital Leicas either too un-Leica (D-Lux) or too bulky (Digilux 1 and 2).

But the second is absolutely stunning: a digital M.

I think this is something many people have been waiting for. And I think I know what I want to save up for now! Well, okay, first comes the Macro-M, but a digital camera that handles like an M and where I can use my M lenses, that would still be a dream.
