Basically, Leica has a rather unique product (there are no other digital rangefinders) and are pricing the cameras at the highest price the market will bear. We are talking about an industry structure best described as a differentiated oligopoly, in which behavior of the individual players is hard to predict. The bottom line is that as long as enough people are prepared to pay Leica prices, those prices will be what they are.
