I'd buy an M Edition 60 if I could afford it. It would be lovely if they could return to the dimensions of the M3 but I doubt they can. They are only a little larger in width and height than the M3, it's the depth that's a problem. The sensor stack plus shutter is about 10mm deeper than the pressure plate and film rails of the film models so the body has to grow in depth to accommodate it.

And if you really must have full frame, the Sony A7/r/s bodies work very nicely with most SLR lenses.

Re: Leica strips features and increases price!
Me Leica, but I'm not going to buy one because I spent my money on bikes and holidays. I think these new Leicas are too big. Although I very much approve of the minimalism, i do wish they'd return to the dimensions of the M3.
