She is complicating simple things. Basically, Leica has a rather unique
product (there are no other digital rangefinders) and are pricing the
cameras at the highest price the market will bear. We are talking about an
industry structure best described as a differentiated oligopoly, in which
behavior of the individual players is hard to predict.

The bottom line is that as long as enough people are prepared to pay Leica
prices, those prices will be what they are.

Cheers,
Nathan
