Subject: [Leica] The higher the price

Leica has an interesting idea in the dedicated black and white camera.?
Except for the price, the idea seems very inviting.?
Seems to me, an enterprising company could offer a competitve camera at a 
much lower price. The 1% might not buy it, but the rest of us might.?
Fuji seems to be taking up the challenge and would be an even bigger 
competitor than it is if it's shutter fired faster and there wasn't such 
delay between when you push the shutter release and the release actually 
fires.?
Canon and Nikon have faster autofocus mechanisms and work better in lower 
light. Maybe they will pose a challenge.?
Leica's high prices certainly leaves them vulnerable to being undersold.
