Leica M9!

[Hacker]

Hi,

Usually, I do not pay much attention to these rumours, but the latest version of Capture One 4.8.2 contains the camera profile for M9! http://nns555.zenfolio.com

"If you look at the M9 profile and M8 profile in a program like GamutWorks, you will see that the M9 profile is exactly the same as the M8 Generic (non UV / IR) profile. Also, the creation date for the M9 profile is exactly the same date and time as the M8. The colorspace has a large portion in the IR area of the spectrum that corresponds to the M8 without an IR filter. This means the M9 profile is a placeholder and not a real profile for a new camera. The fact it shows up on the menu is interesting – but the data associated with the menu item shows no new information."

Cannot get pass an IT expert like you.

The real joke is on people wo have been placing orders as if the cam is coming out...:bsmilie:

To me, 10MP to 18MP is a big leap.

Could start at 12MP FF with better signal/noise ratio. But please don't give me the Canon CMOS sensor with the plastic clean look. :nono:

Yes, CP told me the same thing. This 10K+ is probably is the list price. Another source told me the M9 will be launched in mid-September in S'Pore.

Actually it's like buying cars... if you are concern about the price.. then Ferrari is probably not for you...

Those people who want to buy a M9, probably won't ask "How Much?"

The question is... "By When?" :bsmilie:

According to my "official" Leica distributor, he is only allocated "a few" sets from the "European office" and can take delivery 3 to 4 days after the 09-09-09 announcement.
