Ditto. No No No.
The tradeoffs of a B&W camera are highly unfavorable. Only people unease
with computers & software can prefer the minor advantage of a B&W sensor
over the sensible advantages of doing B&W conversions as they like.
Look at Leica: the M with its 24 MP color sensor features higher resolution
than the weird M Monochrom with its 18 MP B&W sensor. Please note that 24 MP
gains just 14% linear resolution over 18 MP (5952 pixels compared to 5212
pixels on longer side means 740 pixels more = 14.2%) and that's more than
enough for surpassing the B&W sensor.

No.
Likewise.
And likewise for me as well. Although I work almost entirely in B&W, the
conversion tools in ACR and Photoshop have become key elements in
establishing each shot’s tonality. I wouldn’t be willing to give that up in
exchange for whatever resolution advantage a dedicated monochrome camera
might offer.
