So there is still only one version M Monochrom, based on the CCD sensor right? Or is there a new one based on CMOS? Do we have: M9 based on CCD, and derivatives (M-P, M-A, etc.) M Type "who the fcsk knows" based on CMOS, that's the M240, isn't it? M Type CMOS but with higher resolution?!! Is that the Type 246? Or do I get it all wrong?
