I can't reconcile the lazy use of the word 'luxury' with my camera. It doesn't feel luxurious to me. If 'luxury' is applied on price alone a Saturn 5 with a Lunar Module on top is on the luxury goods counter. Why not just say 'expensive' then you can say why it is expensive and not try to cloud the issue by equating a useful piece of photographic equipment with an over decorated handbag. 'Luxury' is when more than you need is purchased, so you don't need a drinks cabinet in a car, but you get one in a Rolls Royce. I'd like to know what you get extra with a Leica M9 to make it 'luxurious'??
