Even supposing the sensor quality (DR, ISO, colours etc), and EVF quality/performance are on a par with or, more likely, better than the SL?

(Puzzled by the suggestion of a larger LCD - this doesn't seem high on anyone's wishlist).

The larger the LCD, the larger the hole it fits in. The larger a hole, the smaller the object it is in (think of a doughnut). A smaller M was right up there with a circular sensor on most people's wish list.

The SL sensor is excellent, but, to be honest, the M240 sensor is close enough to stop me from spending substantial money.

The SL sensor is technically excellent but I never liked the colors it produced. The M240 colors are much better.

I also like my M 262 colors , I wish the high ISO capabilities were a bit better.

High ISO capability was my request as well but in last two years of ownership I noticed that ISO3200 is more than enough with f/2 or faster lenses in all light conditions. The noise at ISO3200 is very much acceptable with little PP and not visible at all in print. Only loss is DR and it is only noticeable when you try to lift shadows. Now a days I like my blacks therefore it is not an issue for me. I am now happy with current sensor's high ISO capability.

 

And yes, I like the colors, even at high ISO. :)

We'll have to wait a few more days then, but it would be very nice if this thread stops in a few weeks....

Suppose we were all wrong and it would be possible to make a MP shape one Leica M digital? In science ideas are sometimes disgarded after say, 10 years.

Suppose the viewfinder would be a classical Messsucher one? Maybe Christmas will come early this year....
