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> Collin Brendemuehl wrote: > > Perhaps Pentax isn't doing a great deal of body upgrading because they > can see the future better than us.
