Hi Joe,
The best writers I know use dashes constantly, just like some AI tools do. My wife is a journalist, and that's how she writes too. This unwarranted suspicion has come up for her as well, to the point where someone mentioned it to her the other day.

The viewfinder I dont really care about. IBIS would be a reason to consider upgrading though - and/or a sensor with a readout time that reduces rolling shutter. Dish in weather sealing and I'm in. Other than that I'm rather content with the M11 and am not too eager to be used as a guinea pig for a company that has become an overpriced paint shop.

I'm not so sure about IBIS, but I could definitely see Leica finally implementing EFCS, which none of the Leica M bodies currently have. Beyond that, a stacked sensor with fast readout seems very plausible. I can already picture their marketing team capitalizing on street photography free of rolling shutter using the full electronic shutter! haha
EFCS or a stacked sensor seems to easiest path to reduce blur issues with tech that is already available, ibis might help with movement blur, but I’m not sure about the shake from the shutter. That shutter causing shake and the slower time to fire seems to be the main issue with the m11, everything else is good enough for me
Sure, but only at speeds above around 1/1500. It’ll be more noticeable on the SLs with a much higher available mechanical speed. Leica shooters will learn quickly.
Leica could easily implement a proper hybrid EFCS like other brands where the efcs is automatically switched off at 1/2000.
EFCS will solve a whole bunch of issues, like the shutter shock in the SL and M cameras. It’ll speed up the M11 and make it quieter. It will improve tracking in the SL cameras.

Leica users about to find out how EFCS makes bokeh worse at high shutter speeds
Does the A7RVI still have this issue? I thought it goes away if the sensor readout speed is fast enough to keep up with the physical shutter speed. The rumored M11-R will likely get this sensor.
I wonder if they'd bump the M11-R up to the Maestro IV that's in the Q3. I don't believe they did processor changes on the M10 to M10-R, but ya never know!

I used to think the 'R' in Leica models stood for resolution...like when the M10-P jumped from 24MP to the 40MP M10-R. But since the standard M11 is already 60MP and there isn't a higher-resolution sensor on the horizon, would an M11-R even make sense?
Honestly, I think the next body will be an M12 (or whatever they decide to call it). We have already seen all the money making variations for the M11 generation like, M11-P, M11-D, Safari, special editions, glossy paint, etc. At this point, it feels like it's either time to move on to a new generation, or they will just keep pouring R&D into the next platform for another year or two while riding out sales on what they already have.

I know there is talk about a Leica Developed Sensor-
If they took the Sony 67MP sensor and put it in the M12 body- HomeRun-
I would never need MS in the M series again except in very special circumstances.

I actually think that makes a lot of sense. One of if not the biggest complaints users have with the M11 is how slow it is, the Maestro IV would help with that. In addition, it allows the looks to be used in camera. Maestro IV has improved sensor readout and as shown in the Q3M, has better dynamic range. Does Maestro III force Leica to rely on SD Cards instead of CF Express because of speed? Could be another benefit. Regardless, if they save Maestro IV for an M12, these smaller improvements would be very useful

This. I could do without a mechanical shutter altogether. Absolutely quiet, cannot break, lighter, smaller and ultimately cheaper to manufacture.
Question is if they dare to cut ties with their heritage that much.
