I bought the current model six months ago and it blew me away. To say I love the camera is a huge understatement. The next model only needs evolution in the form of better AF. SR would be nice, but I can live without it. 24MP? Sure, why not (blur is only pixel relative: at the same print size, blur is the same as 16MP). Better high ISO, OK!
I shot 40% of the images from two key portfolios (
here and
here) on the GR having taken it along 'for fun'. It turns out that in 50mph winds, sleet, snow and hail it is a much more practical camera than just about anything else out there, because IQ is second to none and it slips into a parka pocket where it lived for ten days.
I'll find it hard not to buy the next model. All they have to do now is offer it with a 28mm equivalent and also another version with a 40-45mm equivalent), I'll buy two and probably never shoot a Leica again....
