The New LEICA M-P: Discreet, Faster, Harder

I would love to buy a Leica camera that is actually technically sound (including its electronics up to snuff) and let's me use my M and R lenses equally well.

Unfortunately, the M-P ain't it.
Stick with the a7 since it is technically sound except to me for the shutter. Maybe the next generation a7x will have fully electronic shutter. I will try that one.

Not I Ray
The same processor, the same sensor, the same firmware - no need to test.

Hopefully the extra memory is also faster memory, in which case Lou you might find it worthwhile.

I found the sapphire glass update of the M9p well worthwhile, but the normal M already has good glass (haven't scratched mine yet).

To be honest, I haven't seen one, and although it looks fine, I certainly won't be buying one (my two weatherbeaten Ms are quite enough).

All the best
We will see.

I was talking about the EVF
IMHO It's not as good as the E-M1 - it's too saturated and has too much contrast - the E-M1 is much better at fine detail and subtle lighting variations. . . . . and as far as I know those cameras all use the same panel for their EVF (which I believe is made by Epson) . . . the Sony is too contrasty . . . the Leica T isn't contrasty enough . . . The Fuji is nice and quick, but it's both too contrasty and too saturated . . . the Olympus got it just about right . . and yes, I've used them all
Guess they just fixed that issue. ;)

So as way of an update, the M-P works much better for my use and purposes than my M240's. No battery removal after 3k images.
