The CMOS sensors most of us are familiar with are bundled with AA filters and a CFA that is optimized more for low noise at high ISO than for low-ISO color quality. If the next generation digial M camera(s) uses a CMOS sensor I'd wait for comparisons involving production samples instead of assuming. Doug Herr
