Leica's digital M cameras appear to be monolithic. There is no way of enhancing the photographic capability except by major rebuild or altering the software. It is hard to imagine that sensor and electronic design will not evolve over time even faster than film improved. <<< What I'd like to see is an industry-standard sensor/electronics interface so that a Kodak or Dalsa or Sony sensor/electronics package could be popped into a Leica or Nikon or Sony or Canon, much as 35mm film dimensions, perforations and cassettes were standardized many many years ago so that Kodak or Agfa or Fuji film could be used in any camera that supported the standard.
