I shot it just casually to fill a 4GB card over a long lunch with our Leica
guy here.
Its really well balanced in the hand and I thought it was quite small like a
35mm dSLR or something.
Actually I think it would be better with the additional vertical grip fitted
which maybe shows my impression of the size.
 Focus is via a single central AF crosshairs in the centre of the frame
(lock and recompose).
I found it responsive in focus and handling and of course the resolved
detail is jawdropping.
 According to Peter Karbe, the lenses are the best that Leica has ever made
for any camera and will outresolve the next sensor generation in that size
as well.
It costs a gazillion dollars.

Cheers
