I guess it's just that I don't understand the logic of announcing and promoting a new camera at a major consumer event, only to wait over one year to sell it. Leica's argument for staying with the same pixel count seems justified on technical grounds – i.e. "we are upscaling our current technology" – but not in terms of what the market, in general terms, actually wants, especially for the kind of money they are asking. The M240 sensor isn't exactly known for its class leading performance – I've shot it and thought it pretty good, however – so I'm not sure why anyone thinks, considering they've stated the 007 sensor is based on the same technology, why it'll perform better than the major competition. The Q has thrown up some interesting questions regarding it's overall better performance, but no one to my knowledge has stated it's a CMOSIS sensor of the same type, let alone to be utilised in the S.
As I said before, I really like the S camera and twice came close to buying one, but I don't see the logic in this product roll out, or for that matter the harm in Leica announcing they are rethinking the sensor (or tweaking, or fine tuning x, y, z aspect of performance, or whatever.) I actually think their customers would applaud such openness and "keep the faith" during the ever extending wait.
