If there is an M9.2 then I think it's really unlikely that it'll have any of these changes - it would need a new sensor design to deal completely with the red edges, and new electronics and firmware to deal with the LCD and the processor and a new body for a larger rangefinder window - that sounds like an entirely new camera to me. I guess there will be an M10 which might have some (or all) of these features, who knows?Will it be soon? Will they address the red fringing? A faster processor would be the most beneficial upgrade. I am holding off until all the issues are addressed to upgrade from M8. Live TTL view, larger rangefinder window, and an LCD like iPhone 4 has would be on wish list.
Thanks for that James . . . I've really ended up using all Leica glass - I realise it's an issue with non leica glass - Cornerfix is an excellent solution under those circumstances - and it's free!The red edge issue was improved with the last firmware update. Problem is, folks tend to use a lot of non-Leica glass, so it's a moving target.

So, seeing how it is lens specific, I seriously doubt this is something that will be added to an M10, unless it was software based.
Okay - different shooting techniques - I guess that a larger buffer is one thing that could, theoretically, go into a 9.2 - but like others, I really can't see a good commercial reason for Leica to do it on an interim camera.I have frequently filled the buffer not machine gunning, but just taking the same shot at each aperture click on the Noctilux to get the best image. After 8 shots, it's wait,wait,wait,...... as camera locks up and subject has changed by then - especially on a hot day at the beach.
Here's an idea - use the lens, learn what it does at each aperture and then you won't need to machine gun it - just choose the aperture that suits your vision, hit the trigger and off you go... I mean, what did you do in the land of Ms and film? It sounds like a Red cam may satisfy you demands.I have frequently filled the buffer not machine gunning, but just taking the same shot at each aperture click on the Noctilux to get the best image.

Jono, I haven't messed with conerfix too much. Maybe I should? For me, I think the best solution would be if Capture One opened up the Lens cast calibration feature to other cameras other than the Phase One backs. The feature is there, just grayed out, and it seems like it would be an easy thing just to allow the user to turn it on. It allows for the color cast correction and falloff control separately (which is great because sometimes I like the natural vignette I get from the camera, but want the color cast gone, etc) I also like that this is applied to the RAW file, so, by the time I process out to a TIFF, the colors are clean. Why our Dutch brethren decided the only folks who'd want to be able to do that were the ones using P-One backs is beyond me - that feature alone seems like it would sell more than a few copies of C1 to Leica users. Go figure...Thanks for that James . . .

Well, I think the one thing we can all agree with is that your 15 year old daughter is really pretty!Some of the comments are made to bring up controversy to make the thread more interesting, but I shoot for fun and am no more than a hobbyist. I love my Leica products.
