My guess is that the Leica mini m is simply a rebaged and  
cosmetically altered Fuji x, possibly with an M mount. Leica and Fuji  
have had a long relationship. Remember that the first Leica digitals  
were Fujis. The Digilux was a Fuji MX-700, the Digilux Zoom, a Fuji  
MX-1700, and the Diglux 4.3, a Fuji 4700 Zoom. Back in the film days  
Leica had a relationship with Minolta. The Leica CL was a Minolta  
product.

What better, cheaper, and more expedient way to fill a marketing void  
than simply putting your name on someone else's product.
