“A Leica rep ensured me yesterday that the X1 is a complete inhouse development and has nothing to do with the GF1 or any mFT or FT. It has a CMOS APS-C sensor (which is nearly twice as big as a FT sensor) delivered by an “unknown supplier” in it.”

6:29 – here is the US pricing of the X1 and the M9 and those are the full specs of the Leica X1 (fresh of the press).
