Latest M11-V Rumors

I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone. Isn't the new non-rangefinder camera supposed to be announced earlier today? There is nothing anywhere about it. Has Leica not just cancelled U.S. events, but also is blocking all news to the Internet in the U.S. ? They must be getting help from China to do that. Why am I the only person asking about this?
Weird, I have received about an hour ago a Dpreview e.mail by this title " Leica M EV1 is a rangefinderless M" with initial impressions, all the new camera specifications and relevant press release.

I'm based in Milan.

Best.

Apparently they don't have US Federal Communications Commission approval yet. From the Leica USA website:

Waitlist available
Disclaimer: This device has not been authorized in the United States of America as required by the rules of the Federal Communications Commission. This device is not, and may not be, offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased in the United States of America until authorization is obtained.
So where’s all the talk from the rest of the world?

yes. All outside information goes through the east wing. Hillary set up a server there so that she can curate the information flow. When trump tore it down, it stopped the flow.
They must be getting help from China to do that. Why am I the only person asking about this?
 
Thanks. I guess I should say the "rangefinder" window is there but there is no viewfinder window which would make the rangefinder window itself pointless unless used for something else or simply not removed.
Thus my doubt that the image is legit. Unless the RF window has been repurposed for an as yet unknown function.

Looks like the images were correct
Yes. No explanation for what the former RF window does as yet. I'm reading through Sean Reid's review of the camera right now…he hasn't mentioned it yet either.

Getting help from China?

The camera is now released and pre-orders are being taken. Reviews of the real thing are available on the LUF and the Sean Reid's site.
