I am often amused by unflattering comments regarding Leica equipment made by people who neither own, use or intend to use such equipment. Yes, a digital M10 body costs some CDN $8600. If that is not worth it in your opinion, then do not buy it and just move on. Yes, the new Leica CL is much more expensive than similar models from other makers, again, if you do not think it is worth it, then just ignore it and move on. I have both Leica stuff (everything from film M's to an M9 and MP) and dSR's with many bells and whistles. I use them all, but am much happier using the Leicas. The files from my digital M's are really good, but so are the ones from my Canon equipment, although I find that the combination of Leica lenses and files produce better results.
I have not handled an a CL. Therefore, I cannot possibly have an opinion on it. I do trust some reviewers, including Kevin. and based on that I would be tempted to travel to a dealer and see how it might fit my needs in the future.
