Well, about two years ago Leica stated that they were working on another 
interchangeable lens camera slotted in below the M. It didn't show up at 
Photokina, which surprised me. This is likely the camera they were talking 
about. Whether m43 (unlikely in my opinion) or APS-C, it is unlikely to be 
full frame.
