Hi Alexy,
    Are you sure that the Leica are more expensive.  I believe in this neck
of the woods, the Leica is actually cheaper than the Fuji.  I believe the
Leica can be purchased for $649 and now list for under $700.  I think the 32
meg card is really a  big feature and the photoshop LE is nice.
