I'm shocked!!! No one's mentioned the Leica M , 24 mp rangefinder that only investment bankers will be able to afford .

I thought it was going to be much more expensive than it is. It's around the same price as the M9 was. And there's the M-E (which is pretty much the same as the M9) which is £1000 cheaper than the M9 was.

So I'm pretty pleased that if something happens to my M8, I can get an M-E for £3,900 (whereas my fear was I would have to get some £8,000 M10).

I guess the M-E is an option if my M8 goes south , though around 5500US is still a chunk of change . Sure do like that 24MP M though the 7K price tag puts it way out of my reach , just bought a car for that much . I guess I can always hope the new stuff will drive down prices of used M9's . Probably a forlorn hope , but that's how I got my M8.
