The “Sapphire Glass” upgrade package offers the replacement of the M9 monitor cover with the M9-P’s scratch-resistant, sapphire crystal cover, a choice between vulcanite and smooth MP-style leatherette trim and a one-year warranty extension.

		<description><![CDATA[I was cruising through the newly revamped Leica website trawling for info on the last big announcement they are saving for Photokina when I came upon this little nugget: Leica has updated the M8 Classic firmware to v2.0 which adds the following features to the original Leica digital rangefinder: * Auto ISO &#8211; The M8 Classic can now automatically adjust ISO settings to maintain a minimum shutter speed. This is activated from the M8&#8242;s SET menu. Parameters are adjusted on the MENU menu which include making the Auto ISO parameters lens dependent. * SDHC Support &#8211; Gone are the manacles of 2GB SD cards! The M8 Classic now supports higher capacity SDHC cards. I tested with a 4GB PNY SDHC card and reported space for 370 RAW images. Sweetness! What&#8217;s not there (that requires upgrading to the M8.2): * Hardware updates &#8211; No amount of firmware updates will replace the shutter mechanism, add sapphire glass, or provide a method to alter shutter cocking behaviors. That requires that new bits be installed in the camera. The firmware update is a welcome bit of news to Leica M8 owners who have been complaining about lack of SDHC support and Auto ISO since [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A website in the UK has posted the following information about a rumored update/upgrade to the Leica M8: NO NEW M9LEICA M8 UPGRADELeica to announce that there will not be an M9 as previously thought. Instead they will offer an Upgrade on all existing M8 cameras with the following modifications: New Sapphire Viewing Screen (Virtually unscratchable) Max Shutter speed to 1/4000th Quieter actuation of Shutter mechanism New Firmware 2 Year Warranty with Upgrade This modification will be available from March 2008 and will be booked through Leica Germany&#8217;s Website at a cost to the owner of 1200 Euros. Leica sees the M8 as being an ongoing camera that can be modified throughout its lifetime. I have sent out feelers to my contacts at Leica as to the veracity of this rumor. Other notables have done so as well. This rumor has spawned a lot of speculation on the Rangefinderforum and Leica User Forum websites. No press release has been issued by Leica. The implications of this rumor, if true, are staggering. Leica will be the only camera maker willing to retrofit improvements to already purchased cameras extending the usefulness and warranty. 1200 Euros is not chump change (that&#8217;s about $1800 [...]]]></description>
