Update: Nikon Singapore response: “based on the current outlook, we do not foresee a similar product range as the Leica X1.” I did not expect a different answer, did you?
The new Leica X1 has a 12.9MP Sony based APS-C sensor. The interesting part here is that at the Leica Singapore event Sunil Kaul, (Regional Director of Asia Pacific for Leica) mentioned that apparently the same Sony APS-C sensor is going to be used in a new Nikon compact camera (source: Cnet Asia).
