Digital cameras are not 'just boxes.' The sensor and firmware have an
enormous amount to do with the quality of the image produced. And I
didn't, btw, say anything about the 'look' of the camera; I said
'similar build and image quality.' As in build quality and image
quality. Or, to put it really bluntly, why would anyone in his or her
right mind pay 5500K - for example - for an "M" body when for the same
amount of money he or she could buy an 8 mpg Canon Eos MkII and an array
of Canon's best lenses? I know, I know, it's not a Leica, and it
wouldn't take your m lenses. ;-)

Whoops.. isn't a camera body just a box?  The optics create the image?

Look and feel are not involved in the image creation.

the quality of image it
provides, and the prices of cameras of similar build and image quality.
