niche product means a selling price easily twice that of the mainstream. 
digital cameras are profitable only in very high volumes or very high 
prices.

Of course the camera would be a niche product. But as cosina has shown
us, they can sell niche products quite well - the Epson-Cosina RD1
would be prime application for B&W sensor. Increased resolution would
benefit these Leica lenses a lot,  1-2 stop more basic sensitivity
would be beneficial for a rangefinder as well... And in rangefinder,
it could be justified more than in a SLR.
