It probably is the best stuff made. The 21 and possibly the 28 are 
not the best solutions for digital, but they are certainly excellent 
and won't let you down on a digital camera. They just need some 
tweaking for the best output. Not necessarily a big deal at all.

I think it's too early to suggest anything about "Leica's pdf 
statement made no suggestion that the image quality could be improved 
in software such as PS". They have not put out the specs for the 
Digital M, nor anything about the software included, etc. They have 
not talked about meatballs. Maybe they will later, maybe they won't 
talk about PS. In any case, PS is a fact of life for most people who 
want to get the most out of digital images, and will probably remain 
so.
