Appreciate in value? Not unless you're talking collectibles, Karen. It's
certainly true that Leicas depreciate far more slowly than other cameras
- - film or digital - but they do not appreciate unless they are special
in some way.

Errr. Which digital camera has not depreciated rapidly after it's 
release? Canon digitals are on a one year replacement. The people who 
bought the D60 are crying when the 10D came out. The 10D people will 
cry when the 3D comes out. C'est la vie.

Leicas seem to be the only cameras that actually appreciate in price.
