The Leica M262 sensor
LFI has recently published an article stating that the sensor in the new Leica M262 differs from that in the older Leica M240. This has generated a fair amount of comment on various forums because the M262 is, at least in principle, just a simplified version of the M240. Live view has been left out, no video, etc, etc.
I can't claim to know whether in fact the sensor is different or not. It would certainly be possible to have a simplified sensor - the various capabilities that have been removed certainly add complexity to the sensor. And generate heat, drain the battery, etc. However, making even small changes to an established sensor design is an expensive process, so the question is whether it actually made financial sense.
