Leica today (9/9/09) announced their new M9 camera. Specs are here.
The M9 is proudly retro with a rangefinder, metal focal plane shutter and no autofocus, but then again it has a full-frame 24x36mm sensor, a 5270 x 3516 pixels (18.5 Megapixel) KODAK KAF-18500 CCD Image Sensor and Leica build quality.
Priced at about $8000 before lenses.
