I agree with Jayanand, except that I do not think there will be problems 
with product availability. It will be country-specific, of course. I do not 
expect any dealer in Spain to stock this new camera, but I am sure that I 
could go to Zurich and find it in at least three shops as soon as Leica 
actually starts producing  them.

Cheers,
Nathan
