Let's just hope the M12 doesn't turn into a megapixel monster. Most of us don't need more pixels...come on Leica, be bold and go against the grain!
What I really want is way faster sensor readout, so we can shoot electronically even with moving subjects like in street photography. Somewhere between 24 and 60MP would be ideal, like the M10-R’s 40MP, giving us better control over signal-to-noise. I don't think there's space for IBIS or a built-in diopter, but yes, that would be a welcome bonus.
As for the Visoflex 3, it might come with the M12 and could also work on the M11, though perhaps at a slightly lower magnification. Or, with the EV1 now in the mix, Leica might just skip new development of the Visoflex entirely and focus on pure EVF and RF M bodies.
24MP with high read out speed would be terrific in an M. Leica has recent 24MP experience with the SL3S, but I kno2 it is AF and has IBIS in a big heavy body.
Loving my EV1's.
I don't care about IBIS at all- If they can't fit it into the current body great- I just don't want the dimensions to change.
What I really want is focus on the best low noise color sensor ever created. 24-60MP- Don't care. Give me Monochrome performance with a color body-
I agree, no change in dimensions, except maybe making it a bit less tall, closer to a Leica film M. That said, the best Leica M I own in terms of ergonomics for my hands is my thicker M-D, based on the M262. That slight extra thickness actually makes it more comfortable to hold. The M9 I used to own is also just as thick.
If you like the slightly thicker M-D, then why can’t they slightly increase thickness and include an in-house designed IBIS?
