No no, the question is why someone rags on M8/M8.2 incessantly partly
because of its "cropped sensor" (of 1.3x) and then go ga ga over Ricoh
GRX's M module even though it's ... 1.5x cropped.

Clearly even Leica agrees that something needs to sit between M9 and
X1, otherwise they wouldn't banter the yet to be released mirriorless
system already. Until they actually release something (late 2012?),
potential users will have to be content with used M8/8.2 or the new
GRX M module etc. Heck, the Epson R-D1 still has a number of loyal
users!!!
