If it wasn't for the price it would be a good buy! I've never baulked at the price of Leica film cameras...my D3 and a couple of 2.8 zooms cost a lot more than an M and a couple of F2 lenses, and the depreciation on the film M bodies is manageable. But the M8 digital can now be had for a little over $2000, and that was a camera costing over $10,000 at launch only a few years ago!
Having said that, of all the cameras I've owned or shot with extensively, nothing handles as good for me as a Leica M camera. I've recently bought an Olympus PEN and a Fuji X100, in hope that they would be reasonable digital substitutes, but I have been left feeling cold. I guess if I wait a few years I can get myself a digital M at a reasonable price, but I want to take photos now! Guess I'll just have to learn to love the X100, but it aint gonna be easy.
