But >apparently it is to many who are buying them. >> I just bought an M7 new. Why? Because my work cameras go through a hard life and in 3 years, I'll have more or less ammortized it. I've already broken the first M7, it was replaced under warranty, and chances are (given what my poor EOS-3 goes through), I'll most likely end up going through at least one or two more bodies, or at least need repairing. I've noticed the magnesium+plastic body of my EOS-3 actually bounces on hard surfaces, but the M7 doesn't. The 3 year full replacement warrantee was what convinced me to go with a new Leica body rather than a used one. But that's because it's deductible for me. If I was just using it to put on my shelf as exotic jewelry, I'd have bought a used M6.
