Mirrorless B&W, even if it comes in M mount.

I took it that way, Tom. 
Mirrorless here = Electronic live view (lest some say the RF OVF has "live view")

)You forgot "None of the above" in your poll.
Won't be getting a M10 (or MX?) soon because it won't be here to the end of the year ... then not available until months after that.
Won't get the new electronic wonder that also takes R lenses because I don't have any R lenses, and I'll wait a year to see how the electronics work out.
Won't get the B&W camera IF it doesn't have an LCD as rumored :thumbdown:
Finally got a brand new 50/1.4 ASPH without paying 5K for a used one. Remaining cash stashed as a trust fund for the S24mm and next FF M body with a real rangefinder. Leica will get my $, but they'll have to wait for it

B&W only camera doesn't interest me if it'll cost as muchas a color M and even less if it doesn't have ANY "convenience" features. Mirrorless or the R solution could be interesting and even more so if it was FF or 1.3x crop factor like the M8 was. M10 is a given in my mind but I think I will hold out for the M10-P this time around.

New M-camera: Barring a new emphasis on "value" pricing, I think this is where I get off. Loved the M8, enjoyed the M9 (but never felt totally comfortable paying those kinds of prices). No particular interest in a monochrome-only system.
New as-yet-unnamed system: Depends on What and How Much.

A FF M with LV and focus peaking.
Since I do not know whatreally comes - maybe it is an R10.
My offered choices are pure speculation and Leica could present something totally different eventually. Who knows.

If the M10 has the means to check critical focus and framing pre-capture I'll probably bite. The mirrorless (not M) offering would probably need to be full frame to interest me but never say never. My hope is that they'll announce both at the same time so that I'll know my options.
I'm still keeping an eye on the X-Pro1 but have been disappointed in what I've seen so far from the 18mm lens. Wides are vital for my work, I'll be very interested so see how M fit wide lenses perform on the Fuji.

He also forgot "All of the above" and "Two of the above" which is more to the point in my case.You forgot "None of the above" in your poll.
I agree with Marc and Terry though. I wouldn't be interested in a B&W camera without an LCD. I can shoot film if I don't want feedback.

I think the monochrome liveview cam is going to be a rebadged Lumix G5 with the regular Lumix G5 offered as a color version.

Jono, since you seem to have been able to quote Terry before she made her statement, I nominate you as our seer to tell us what Leica is set to release!
From my perspective, I will probably sit this one out. I love the M9, and this year I sold a huge proportion of everything else I had for the S2, and between the two, I cannot really think how they are holding me back in my photography in any way. But you never know, they seem to have convinced me to part with a lot of my money in the past...
