If indeed the ME is purely a repackaged M9, in terms of internal components, then I am somewhat disappointed as this means it will suffer from the same M9 problems of sluggish buffer rate and random banding issues (which might be card related).
I agree with Joe these ME \'features\' makes the new M even more attractive, if it is indeed $7K. The sensor performance is promising, and with the Maestro processor, should be a more responsive camera...
I find it interesting that the CMOSIS site indicates the sensor can do 5 fps, whereas the M spec list indicates 3 fps... would be nice to see even 4 fps.
