I've seen prices for some Leicas falling rather precipitously lately,
although there may be more of a correlation between that and the release
of the new M7 and the Voigtlander models and lenses, if there's any
correlation at all.  Leica has come out with a digital camera of sorts:
http://www.photim.com/Infos/UneInfo.asp?N=548 although it's not anywhere
near as full-featured as the new Canon or Nikon. 

Nonetheless, it's clear that the affordable, useable, digital camera is
just around the corner <sigh>
