LOL!Nice!

I don't know what's not Leica like about it. I treat all my cameras with the same care and use the same bags/cases/straps for all of them too. ??Quite frankly, it is odd to be discussing tripods and focus peking with a M instead unique braided leather straps and Luigi cases in different colors and feel.
I could throw the G1s and the NEX' around without much concern in a back pack. What kind of pouches and bags would be be looking fo he M.
This is not Leica like. :bugeyes:

Indeed...the Leica has traditionally been known for low light photography, it would make sense for them to continue that tradition with IBIS. It's just as useful with shorter focal lengths.don't forget for some, simply being able to take a low light shot, at dusk or nighttime etc., hand held with even a fast lens, might require a shutter speed thats just not handholdable
It certainly can and theres no argument from me. . Yet at the same time there are circumstances where a tripod and/or monopod isn't feasable nor allowed and the difference IS will often make in those circumstances, is either getting a quite respectable, useable shot, or nothing at all. Since IS can be turned off, it's simply an option if ever needed for the circumstances I described and at other times, can be left "off", if thats what desired.My gripe on IS is that more often than not, it makes the picture worse, and I'm talking from experience. I turned it off in my A900. For low light shooting, there is only one way, tripod. For moving subjects, only higher shutter speeds will freeze the movement. IS doesn't help in this case. IMO, the IS is way overrated.
I agree with you Dave. Certainly in the cases you mentioned, IS would be very helpful.It certainly can and theres no argument from me. .

Dave (D&A)
Edward, I couldn't agree with you more, especially the example your outlined. Of course if we look at it this way, then a lot of the new technology being introduced in the new M could also falter and although it might not result in a total loss of picture taking at a critical moment or while on a trip, it neverless will eventually leave the user of the camera without it for weeks/months while being serviced. I guess that's the price of introducing more and more technology into today's cameras.I agree with you Dave. Certainly in the cases you mentioned, IS would be very helpful.
But I have a few concerns from my Sony days about IS, even when left on off, there were several cases mentioned on the forums when the IS mechanism was broken and the sensor was tilted to one side or not exactly flat. Just one more thing that can go wrong and ruin your shooting, not just for one day but for a couple of months.
Digiscoping is generally more feasible with smaller format sensors due to image circle issues, never mind the mechanical issues of aligning and holding steady a larger, heavier camera with the telescope.How about Digiscoping with the M ?
Already possible for the DLUXs, but FF could be fun and provide much better detail.
What do you think ? Is it feasable ?
