My goodness, they all but replaced the entire camera! This indicates how 
integrated electronically digital cameras are. They're made of electronic 
dominoes. Which explains why I always pack a film camera backup. Most of 
what's in an 
M film camera is empty space, as one Leica expert told me. So very little 
can 
go wrong. And even if something does fail, chances are you can?get around it.
