Right, but as Jack pointed out, and which I agree.....you do not NEED a FF sensor to accomplish that. The 1.33x crop at 10MP could be improved to stay at 10MP or bump up slightly, but provide better high ISO performance. Would a 12-14MP 1.33x crop sensor with true ISO 2500(3200) performance be a BAD thing? I think not. If Nikon and Canon and others are able to improve noise control, Leica should be able to do that too. We are talking about a sensor, electronics and software that is(will be) several years old soon, and tech has advanced quite a bit over that time.Well i more stop would be great , I agree.
There is room for improvement, no question.
Terry,I am definitely not whining about full frame as I really don't care about it, I don't print anything huge and as Jack as shown you can get pretty darn large with what we've got.
Agree, the high ISO performance would be great.
The big "joke" is me potentially getting a second body and when all of the uncertainty of what comes next from Leica is all around us, it makes me pause and evaluate what the best next steps are (buy used and upgrade, buy a new body, wait for M9, etc.) To the extent that I am paused I am sure others are as well and that does not help Leica sell cameras and generate good cashflow for the needed R&D investments.
