Yeah, I know Leica moves with glacier-like speed. My response was a
tongue-in-cheek comment on the engineering revision process I was all too
familiar with in a 25-year design career.
And yes, I wish I had a digital Leica M to use alongside my EOS 1D mk II
and 20D. It'd make location portrait sessions easier.

To which even Leica isn't immune? This is funny Mark! Leica...finally added AE in the M line what 20, 30 years after it was in other brands?
Now their failure to offer a real professional digital solution in a timely manner is just one of the things leading to their finnancial problems.
I sincerey hope Leica recovers from their current malady...but it will take more than a slow not yet produced DMR to help. Where is a Digital M? That would sell to almost all the same pros who now shoot Canon for their digital...many of us used Ms along SIDE the other brand SLRs, but now that digital is the demand of most clients there just is a shrinking hole that the Leica works in, now if it were a digital M then that hole would increase by leaps and bounds. Especially if the thing had the same high ISO performance of my 1DII. Man a sensor like my 1DII in an M style camera....that would be killer!
