I agree Alan there is no need for Leica to try and keep up speed wise and the bulk that comes with that is really not needed . Let's face it were not looking for a sports camera per say. Everyone that wants a Leica R10 is pretty much after a form factor of a 5d or slightly larger but the key elements are 18 mpx minimum, CCD, No AA, Some type of focus confirmation at the minimum or some AF lenses , backwards compatable to existing glass, 16 bits for sure and faster buffer than the DMR which let's face it , it was slow and i would like to see at least 3fps on continous. Oh the biggy FF or better and come in at 6200 US or lower. Let's face facts we will never see this from Leica at 5k. We really want here is a butt wiping or equal to the new 1dsMKIII and not a D3 that Nikon just introduced which looks like a great camera but falls short on the MPX at this level of camera were asking for. Bottom line really is MF in a small form factor. At least that is what I want
