Its closer in size to the M than the X!
For sure full frame!
I'll bet one Zillion Fig Newton's on it.

Leica is taking over.

But I'd not put it past Dr. Andreas Kaufmann to come out with a compact with
a  BIGGER than 24x36 sensor in it. Like he did with the S system.

What would be amazing and useful would be a very compact body to put some of
the more compact S optics on. There are only a few but that's all you need.
And with its medium format digital sensor.

In the film past there were plenty of folders and other ways to pull a
medium format camera out of your pocket and make a grab shot on a sizable
piece of real estate of film.
Would be great to have that in this digital age. How long will we have to
wait. Not going to underestimate the foresight of Kaufmann and his people.
It could be in the next days.
