So either sensor upgrade would have to be offered (at what astronomical cost) , or the M8 would be obsolete. Obsolete in terms of un-manageable or irrelevant . Current DSLRs even if they are super-ceded by newer technology can still use the same lenses and filters. They are forward and backward compatible .
Perhaps some my not have an issue with this , but this would certainly render the camera only useful in the realm of the hobbyist or occasional photographer . For the working pro this would seem an incredible nuisance .
This is not an attempt to insult or denigrate any M8 users , but rather an attempt to express real concern about the future of DR photography. As well as protecting my investment in Leica equipment .

Oh lord, another unecessary menu option "Coded + UV/IR ignore"
