On the other hand, if they do what you need, they will continue to do that for a long time. One of the most interesting parts of the article is the connection of the depth of the sensor to the ability to capture a wider angle of incoming light. This directly relates to the ability to use our relatively symmetrical wide angle lenses. The article notes, "The light-sensing layer can shrink from around 3 microns to 0.5 micron. This allows the sensor to capture light from a larger angle of incidence ..." So, hang on to those wonderful wide angle optics. They may be usable with high MP sensors in the future. Along those lines, has anyone compared the edge performance of the M240 to the M9 with the ultra-wides? I'm wondering how successful Leica has been at dealing with the off-axis, angle of incidence issue with their 24 MP chip.
