Leica announces two new M rangefinder cameras. The M and the ME!

Leica surprised us all and announced two(!) new M rangefinder cameras. The M is the first camera using a 24 Megapixel CMOS (and no more CCD) sensor. The M-E is a more “affordable” Leica. The crazy think is that the Leica CMOS sensor is made by a Belgium company named Cmosis…never heard about it before! Here is a collection of links to news and previews of the cameras:
