I am no Leica expert either but, they have some amazing lenses like the 50 mm f/0.9 !!
The lenses are even more outrageously priced but they are said to be among the sharpest optical devices in the world.
They seem to be geared more toward portrait and landscape type work.
Sort of like buying a Ferrari vs. a Ford.....they both can get you to work and back but......
Maybe I should have said a Rolls Royce vs a Ford !!!
OK so it seems that you all summed up my thoughts pretty well. Relatively speaking over priced. Great cameras, but not necessarily for that price. Thanks all for your opinions!

Haven't read it, but it might be interesting: quick test and specification comparison to a 5D2
Where it's pretty obvious that for a FF sensor, the camera is very small..
