Modern (digital) Leicas are indeed fashion accessories, and the bodies will not hold their value in the long run.

Especially with the coming of the recent Fuji X series.

For the Leica fans on APUG, I thought this site was quite interesting -

and I particularly liked the photo of Suzy Parker in New York with a Leica. However, I can’t help thinking that modern Leicas are more fashion accessories.

The Hermes Edition Leica is a serious camera for tools.
