+1 I’m quite happy with the colors and the IQ the S2 gives me and I’d like more MP’s and DR.
Perhaps CMOS would be a wise decision for Leica because on the MF forums there seems to be a high demand for better high ISO and live-view, so this could bring in new customers for the S. If Leica manages to keep the price of entry into the system a bit lower that would help a lot too.
OTOH, I know of at least two high profile photographers who say they don’t like the (colour-) rendering of the M240 sensor. I tend to agree with them from what I’ve seen floating around. Maybe if the upcoming S gets a CMOS, Leica should take a long hard look at other sensor manufacturers, besides CMOSIS. After all, we’re talking about their flagship camera. Color and IQ should come first.
