      There might be some inherent hardware-based per-pixel noise reduction in the imaging pipeline, but a DNG wouldn't have software NR applied to it like a high ISO JPG shot in-camera would. You'd still have to apply NR in post processing, just as before when a DNG+JPG was captured. The JPG used for preview would have NR; the DNG wouldn't.

      is it possible for leica to remove the gray band behind the viewfinder information so as not to obstruct the view of the entire image in the viewfinder for better composition?

      is it also possible to introduce a square format?

      I was considering this, but instead I swapped it out to a photographer for other gear, and bought an Omega Grey Side of the Moon wristwatch. I'm still waiting for another photographer to test my Leica X-U underwater camera, under water. In the meantime, waiting to see what Leica will introduce next.

      Coming out with a line of lifestyle products doesn't hurt this main goal any more than Porsche or BMW selling tote bags and golf shirts.
