btw, this Leica (just like a lot of other "special edition" cameras they release) is not really for the photographers crowd - its for the Leica collectors. They are the only people spending this kind of money on a camera like this. One more advantage is that the camera itself is operating extremely quiet - in contrast to many DSLRs, who can be pretty loud. So you can use it for "discreet" shots - of course, if the camera is screaming white, this is not gonna be an easy task :-)
Half-OT: I'm wondering why most of these players are designed in such a drab and boring way...the companies could at least try to make the players look a bit more exciting, like this one SACD-player from sony with this thin disc tray. or build some oled display with some fancy colors, and not this el-cheapo b/w display from yesteryear...
