Some would consider the M4 as a collectible. It does seem to often be priced quite high. Have you considered an M2, M3, M4-2, or M4-P? One useful suggestion would be to buy a book about the M cameras, like for example "Leica M Photography" by Brian Bower, or "The Leica M Compendium" by Jonathan Eastland. These would give you some useful introductory information about the system that would be harder to piece together without such a book. Any Leica dealer should be able to get these books for you.
