I don't expect Leica sales volume would be of any
consequence whatsoever to Canon. They sell a few extra
bodies and Leica sell a few lenses to the small number
of people who can afford and appreciate them, probably
a tiny fraction of a percent of their customers.
Canon make more digital SLRs in 3 months than Leica
have made cameras in their history (>750,000), that is
why they can be so cheap.
