or is it as ghost Q?

No my dear Karl, it´s real, but it may not be clear explained.

We all know and is been discused here widely the new features of new M7, my question is not about it, but about the final usage of this camera; so does this new M7 changes much the way M photography had dsveloped?, is it really faster this automation in practical sacuencial picture making?

As a Leica M user, exposure reading and in camera setting is one part of picture making, but it isolates at moment of exposure, when framing and shooting is all, firt step is passed and we concentrate in framing and shooting, is this a big change in new M7 with it´s autoexposure mode? is there a reason it may be slower in situations of multiple exposures on the same subject? or any other situations you M7 users may have found?

Ah I see, Theres no doubt about it that with this camera, the user can work much faster and be able to take photos which one would otherwise miss unless the camera has been set up or 'nearly set up' in the first place. Instead you can concentrate on just focussing and setting aperture for desired DOF effects. I intend to buy one, but not for a while. I get the feeling that there are a lot of problems with the initial batches.
