I agree completely. I own a Leica film camera, the M6, and I love it. I think the industrial design is spectacular, the image quality is great, and the unobtrusiveness of the camera lets me get shots I couldn't with a bigger film SLR.

But I can't imagine ever buying a Leica digital camera. They're overpriced, seemingly underpowered, and a far poorer investment than, say, a house.

Also, I should mention that as I write this, my X100s is sitting next to me, and its memory card's contents are being copied into Lightroom. Fuji's making absolutely amazing cameras with superb optics. Are they Leica-quality? Probably not, but I'd rather spend $1000 on an X-series camera than $10,000+ on an M with a first party lens.
