That's true, in general...BUT...this IS a Leica list.  Why would anyone here
use a Leica (aside from as a status symbol) if one of the important factors
wasn't image quality?  If this was a P&S list, yes, your statement would
carry quite a bit of weight...but it isn't.  Image quality is paramount to
most people who use a Leica as a serious imaging tool.
