Leica M9 camera with Black and White sensor?
Latest rumors from our friend at Leicarumors are suggesting that on May 10th Leica will announce a sort of Leica M9 special camera with black and white sensor. It will have same M9 design but there are also extreme rumors saying that it will not have an LCD screen at all! Damn, how should we check the pictures we take? 
The sensor has a very clean/noise free high-ISO capabilities and wild rumors say that this is actually a Sony made sensor.
Let’s see what’s coming on May 10th!

2 years ago |Cool. In a word. I work mostly in b&w so a greyscale sensor make sense to me. The first Nikon-Kodak digital cameras were b&w only, cost the same as a small provincial flat and yet found a market so it’s not such a crazy idea. ISO can be set with a dial. There’s no need for white balance adjustment. If the cemera just records RAW images (no JPEGS) then there’s no need for any other image adjustments. So no need for menus. And no need for a screen or an EVF. The only thing that would need to be set is the clock for EXIF data. That could be done with a small LCD watch display and a single button (which could be beneath the bottom plate for aesthetics) or set using the frame counter LCD display or the LED viewfinder display even. Or perhaps set automatically using one of the radio time services. In short there are many options. I’d certainly consider buying one if the price was right.
