Jayanand, when it comes to landscape photos where you are using a tripod,
remember that the camera is just a box to hold the sensor on one end and
the lens on the other. As long as the firmware does not mess up the raw
date too much, then you are talking about a 36MP box that cost less than
$3000 that takes Leica lens, It's $5000-$6000 less than an M T240 with more
pixels to boot. And when using on a tripod, any operational inefficiencies
is negligible.

This is why I am interested in it. I have the M9 and I use it for
landscape, but it does leave something to desire when my other landscape
camera is now a 4x5 or 617. Even the Xpan is inadequate in that sense.
