I guess we should stick to discussing the color of the ME.

No one needs high iso in such a camera. Everyone wanted high iso capabilty in an M camera. CCD and high iso is not possible. CMOS was the natural and only choice.

I'm not quite sure how to unpack your question!I'm not sure how best to unpack this statement. Is soul and character a result of being boutique or Western or unsuccessful at market?
Obviously you can't be both boutique and successful - one necessarily precludes the other in au-courant sentiment. (The money to be made is while people still think you're boutique, but before they notice you becoming successful.)
"Western" versus "non-Western" is irrelevant to the subject: it might even be preferable to be "non-Western" as long as you're also unsuccessful. Hand-made in Indonesian Borneo out of recycled palm-fronds: that Just Works, even if the products don't. (Though it only Works for a while; see above.)
Making high-quality, affordable (big sin) products on an incredibly capable clean-room production line: in Japan, or (especially) China, or Germany, or Belgium - or Jakarta, for that matter (since modern Indonesia doesn't count) - not so much.
Get with the program!

CCD has no more character than a CMOS. The sensor character comes from the CFA, aka color filter array. This is what differentiates the color rendition from one sensor to another. Color density and hues of the CFA, and also quite important, how the demosaicing algorithms translate this info into a picture, this is the character.

Way too abstract.I guess we should stick to discussing the color of the ME.
The color of a camera is just something so evasive

800 ISO is enough for me. So go for the M ....

Sacred blue, my brave! It is to make the little grey paint of the M-E a question important!Are you sure? Maybe it's from the same france that Hercule Poirot is from.

Agreed. The output of these two technologies must be massaged and processed from the raw Luminosity data into the photographic interpretation of the engineers.
With that said, I've used the Canon 5D for six years and the character and quality of those images exceptional. I believe that's because the Canon engineers chose a week aliasing filter for that camera. Coupled with Zeiss glass on that body the character is close to my M9 the sameness lens.
