Well... you can put the guts of any number of available digital cameras into a body similar to the M shape. This DOES NOT make it a "digital M." And you WILL NOT be able to utilize the high resolution, high definition, and high contrast, of Leica M lenses. You would get digital images, but they will be no better than most other $1500 digital camera. If you simply research the physics, the geometry, and the make-up of a digital sensor, how it is scanned, what the voltage levels are, etc, it should become quite clear that hoping for a breakthrough in capturing a zillion pixels instantaneously, running color space conversion, PRNU, interpolation, JPEG, and getting a file out of a camera large enough to compete with real film (100mb) is still a pipe dream.
