That’s exactly what I feel after reading everything about it. I wouldn’t have it since I am happy with the older digital and film Leicas I already have, but I can totally see new users trying it out and slowly getting hooked to what Leica appeal is. And to me that is no-nonsense simplicity, enjoyment of photography with small dose of smugness. 
 

All good! I hope it succeeds. 
 

Tell me I am wrong.

Fitting a 24 Megapixel sensor would allow the processing pipeline to be speeded up, opening the way for focus assist tools.

Then reduce the cost to SL3-S levels.

There are no 24MP sensors for M cameras in production. Adding a new sensor and firmware just for low numbers M-EV1 does not make economical sense.
