Remember this....Upgradable forever?  They can not even get the first
upgrade out without "issues".

.... upgrades do not make money..... selling new makes money.... and they
need to make money.....

In Leica's case, they need a new body every so often to keep us coming back
for the lenses, where they really make money.....

BTW, are the (cheap / low entry price point) Summarits still available?  The
WATE?

meanwhile leica is stock in deciding about the upgrade of the M8 (as
of right now it seems up in the air according to one of the dealers)
