Anyone here could, for $240, buy a Minolta Maxxum 5 or Canon Rebel 2000 and have a more capable camera than the $2500 M7. Both run circles around the M7's antiquated exposure system. Gone too is the lame excuse, "I must have a fully mechanical camera for those times when I go brain dead and forget the batteries." The Leica myth is running out of excuses as the M series becomes a fairly modern camera. Soon the excuses will become so thin, "It's the only camera that has a red dot I can cover up", will be the answer of choice when asked why one paid $2000 more and got less.
