I think what's important about this camera, aside from a FF RF alterntive to Leica, is the sensor is wayyy better than what you are getting out of an m240. Just looking at a comp with their APS-C versus FF from DXOmark (and they use the m10 which bests the m240):
"At base ISO, the smaller APS-C sensor in the Pixii has around the same peak 13.5 stops of dynamic range as the full-frame Leica Q2 at its base when normalized to the equivalent of a 12 x 8 print, which is impressive. However, as ISO settings increase, the Pixii has the better, wider dynamic range than the Q2 at every ISO setting up to ISO 25600, even when accounting for the one-stop disparity in manufacturer ISOs.
A second gain is noticeable at ISO 1600 on the Pixii, which corresponds to a similar boost in sensitivity on the Leica Q2 at ISO 800, but the former has around a +0.5 EV advantage and maintains that throughout the ISO range up to its maximum ISO 25600 setting anyway.
The Leica M10 on the other hand has slightly lower maximum DR at base than either the Q2 or the Pixii, but then has a similar response up to ISO 800. After that point though, without a second gain, the sensor shows its age and drops behind both."
Essentially, if you want modern digital IQ, you need an m11, which is so spendy, even used. I believe the Pixii FF sensor will compare very favorably. Let's see a rumor for the price!
