Concerning Epson it's a nice expensive camera, nice... but is it quality inside?. I agree.

I think for me the MP is worth *less* than an M6/M7. I think going back to the old-fashion rewind crank was nuts. But to each own, and if enough people buy the MPs it will be good for Leica, so by all means... As for the Epson, that is not a relevant comparison. If you want a digital camera on which to use your M lenses, the Epson is the only game in town and prices reflect that. Once Leica or Zeiss come out with their digital models (if that ever happens), then the price of the Epson will gravitate down to where it should be, somewhere between 1000 and 1500 EUR.
