I suspect what has some of us excited by the prospect of a digital Leica isn't so much the camera itself, at least not the first iteration of it, but the fact that Leica is evidently paying attention to what's going on in the photographic world and thus is far less likely to be left high & dry when the large scale shift to digital imaging takes place. - -Dave-
