Title: Leica M9 pics and X1 pics leak
Post by: narikin on September 02, 2009, 03:47:23 pm
what appears to be genuine pictures of the FF M9 and the new Leica X1 have leaked.

the X1 seems to be Leica's version of the Panasonic GF1, probably at twice the price...

The M9 shot is phony. Look at the top plate on the left and then on the right. Why would the one on the right be slanted? More drivel for the masses.

New Leicas announced 9/9/9 anyway, pointless to speculate so close to the announcement.

To speculate anyway, I say the "photos" are faked.

Link asks for a password?

The fact that it doesn't 404 is promising.

The picture they posted was a phony. I stand by my statement, I didn't say an M9 didn't exist.

Looks like the same camera as the pictures shown today to me.
