What's the real bit-depth for the sensor? If shot side-by-side with an M9 how do the images compare? I strongly suspect that if Leica has its name behind it then the sensor and the images will be pretty damn sweet. There's a huge difference between taking the sensor pattern for color and manufacturing a B&W image and making a B&W image directly from ONLY the luminance data. It's a non-trivial difference. Because you can do something like it in Photoshop doesn't mean that the final result will be the same. I find this really appealing although at the very boundary of my affordability. Luckily all my glass will work with it and at the designed focal length. It's more attractive to me than an M9. My M8 is still a happily working camera and I don't expect that to change. It's really all about the images. Ted should have one NOW. Adam
