The only cameras without them are medium format digital and small point and shoots. So this distain for the look of CMOS I think can only be found on the LUG. Not in the real world. Its academic in the worst sense. And its not as if we have a choice. If Nikon or Canon or anybody else felt there was some edge they'd get with coming out with a CCD based DSLR or other serious camera in the 24x36mm realm they'd have done so long ago. There isn't so they haven't. These people are not stupid. And they are making highly competitive gear. Its Leicas job to come out with something just a tad better or more. I think the M10 will be clearly that. Much more so than the M9.
