My idea - fix the sensor to the (often maligned) baseplate. It could be removed for easy cleaning and potentially for upgrade. Either that, or have the back swing out like film M's - which would also keep the grip baseplate enthusiasts happy. I'd trade a thicker M for upgrade potential / longevity (speaking as an M8 owner) A modular M would be interesting. My idea – fix the sensor to the (often maligned) baseplate.

Or, maybe the rumor is a little off and what's coming (if) will be a 35 sensor body with live-view that is the R solution and it will also use M lenses. After all, Leica did say it will not be a DSLR solution. Perhaps something on the line of a 'pumped-up' GF-1 style. In other words a hybrid camera that is a bridge to the future for Leica and their users. Agreed.

Whatever product it is, if it's film now that's interesting. I don't think they tried to apply the interchangeable film/digital back to M9.. so? Second question. Ok, let's assume it's another M. M what? Not M8 - name already gone Not M9 - name already gone Maybe M10? Maybe MX ? Maybe M7.2 ? A new M? Whatever product it is, if it’s film now that’s interesting.
