Frank,

I would think so, unless Leica were to re-engineer the OVF optics to vary
frame line magnification, or worse, carry over the EVF from the Digilux 2,
in which case it would be unlikely that I would purchase an M digital body,
all other things being equal...

On the digital M, wouldn't that require a new viewfinder too?  If you
replace a
smaller sensor with a 1:1 sensor - wouldn't the frame lines be off?

I understand that the sensor in both the R-Module and the M-Digital camera
is designed to be modular; that is, replaceable by qualified technicians.
This may mean that when a proper full-frame sensor is available, we will be
able to have it retrofitted to the back/body, giving us interchangeability
not only of lenses.

That will be a wrong move for Leica publishing the small sensor in
2006.  By that time I think most sensor will be 1:1 like in EOS 1Ds
