This was my point too, Jayanand.

In 10 years, it will be a camera no one wants.

Under a dusty chair in my colleagues office is the first digital
(professional) camera we bought. It is a Canon. Some Canon 1
this-or-that. It has a Kodak digital back and a SCSI communication
with the outside world. It cost a fortune. Obsolete, obsolete,
obsolete.

Just like every single Olympus will be in 12 years. But non a Leica M.
