For the M9 Apple lovers . . .

[cmdrzed]

I ran across this (http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-m8-forum/96795-m9-spotted-leica-youtube-video.html) forum post over on the l-camera-forum about spotting the M9 in a video. Everyone knows about the 09.09.09 reference and the M9.

Then . . . I came across this (http://www.macrumors.com/2009/08/31/apple-issues-invitations-for-september-9th-media-event/) bit of information on MacRumors concerning an Apple event on the same day . . .

. . . iLeica

:D

Just trying to get everyone going. I am, of course, joking :P

Great. Two of the most overpriced companies teaming up. I can only see this ending in tears for the consumer.

The M9 is in that video.

If you look at the 53-59 second mark. It shows what looks like an M8.2 with black paint finish. An ISO button where Protect should be. And 1/4000 maximum shutter speed, then A, but no "S" setting.

From evidence. It's looking to be more of an M8.3

[swoop]

Apple and Leica are not conspiring. Apple is releasing iTunes 9 which is supposed to have a slew of new revolutionary features. And Leica is supposedly announcing an M9. It's just coincidence.

No my guess is Steve will announce that Apple has purchased Leica.

some band called 'the beatles' are releasing a slew of remastered cds on that day too...

I can finally have a webcam on my M(whatever number they decide to use). The one option that was lacking in previous offerings.

[cmdrzed]

Yes. I believe Steve Jobs flew to Germany in his personal spaceship and purchased Leica. I'm holding out for the Blueberry M9. . . er Blueberry iM9. Hopefully the power light will pulse denoting that it is asleep.

I love the serious tone people get when it comes to joking around. :D

The new built-in Apple laptop camera uses a Leica lens...

Apple designs the Leica camera UIs (remember that white "Snow Leopard" M8?)...

The new 9-9-09 Leica camera comes with iTunes installed so you can have your own photography soundtrack...

You mean the companies that offer the most value for the money?

[cmdrzed]

lol @ andrewteee. So that explains the white M8.

Oh, and one more thing...

This fantastically great camera. It's called the iLeica!(TM) and will be available at Apple Stores today.
