Just maybe it's a bright new day with Leica about to launch several new products in 2017 their needs for not only leadership but marketing might have needed a twist in a CEO.
After never being without a Leica for the last 30 years in November of 2016 I sold the last of my Leica gear. It was my favorite camera to hold but frustrated me to get the consistent results wanted.
I will say with the M240 Leica came close to making a great camera but it just lacked the finishing strides not only in software but the viewfinder, screen and shutter. Leica seems to still have the Majic and I hope I will buy a new Leica one day. It will have to be along the lines of the M10 but not dumbed down and restricted Leica will have to re invent not only themselves but re invent the camera.
My dream a water resistant light weight 50+ MP that has top quality fast lens selection, tilting touch screen, large OVF and EVF combination viewfinder, smart electronics, blazing FPS rate, high ISO, wifi, IS, shutter realse on back, continuous Auto bracketing, programmable buttons and great DR. This camera should be simple to use, feel great in your hands, be suited to Nikon flash technology. It should have GPS and share smartphone cabailities. This camera would have a battery that would be still able to rely on after taking 1000 images at fast rate.
All of the above is possible as of two or three years ago what I would like to see Leica produce is what I can't imagine then I back in the game.
