I would love a digital rangefinder. It is definitely the best kind of 
camera for my type of photography. But I have trouble shelling out $5K 
for a digital body. It is not the same as shelling out for a Leica film 
body, those were designed to last a lifetime. But a digital body? Unless 
there is a believable upgrade path, no way.

I just bought a second-hand 1D Mark 2 for 1500 GBP ($2650) from a shop 
in Wales--it is currently waiting for me at a friend's apartment in 
London, where I will pick it up next week. That is the kind of price I 
am prepared to pay for a digital body, no more.
