The original Leica, in early 21st Century equivalence, would probably be a 1" sensor mirrorless camera, if not a smartphone.
Maybe I should rephrase what I meant: I think the manner in which the M feels substantial compared to many other cameras on the market, works in its favor. It feels 'real' and gives the impression of quality. This combines with its other positive tactile qualities to enhance the 'user experience' for some. Just like how the sound of the door closing on my current German car sounds better than on my previous Nissan. Does it mean much in respect to figuratively getting from point A to B in either case? No, not materially, but yes, subjectively.
Would I be upset if Leica trimmed 100g from the next M? No, I'm sure I would like it, so long as it didn't feel 'cheap'.
Think about it Ron, that Leica II, basically grabbed image quality close to any SLR in the whole history of 35mm photography at 50mm F/8. People loved the CL so hard it killed the M5.
I think this M10 sounds extremely sweet just as it is. But as we have the M262 variant on M240, I hope one day, somebody in Solms will prove they understand the original purpose of the Leica.: A guy with asthma wanted a light, great camera to take on a hike.

That is so embarrassing....
There were small crappy cameras even then
I think......I better look that up
Anyway, I don't think Barnack would have been happy with a cell phone. RX1rii, maybe
