Is this why X100 images compare favorably with those from digital M when 
seen on line, or is it because images viewed on line really can't be seen in 
enough detail to-be judged?

Mark.  Back in film days, the Leica quality was always with the lens.  All 
cameras could shoot the same film and vary the exposure the same way.  The 
lenses made the difference.

Now, with digital, there is one more variable between cameras.  The sensor 
and firmware replace the universally available film.  Leica has to get that 
part at least as good as the competition for the lenses to make the 
difference again.  Hope they can do it with the M and CMOS.  They are 
competing with the big boys who have big bucks and lots of years of 
experience.
