Price will be at 5500EUR inc. 19% German VAT = 6800 US without VAT. I already payed the full amount to my dealer. Hope to get the camera next week ;-)

Popflash put up a price of 6995 for the M9 and 1995 for the X1. Are they early and correct or early and wrong. David

IMHO $1995 just seems nuts for the x1. Makes decision simple.
Agreed... Especially if the lens is fixed. Chop the price in half and it would probably sell. $2000 gets a Sony a850 or any number of other options to include a Micro 4/3 system and a lens or two.

Yep, and add $350 for the finder and I might simply decide to go with a used M8 instead. Just have to scrape together some additional funds for the lens :)

ah, my source in the UK got the USD price wrong. will have to see what happens to the UK price ,which he was surer about - 4900 gbp as of now Monday morning [Leica might in the last moment make it 4800 ]

but my - like many others - guess-estimation was right: as i wrote on GetDpi

"hence, the proportionate speculated price of M9 in the USA = $ 6800 = $7000 rounded or icing on the cake/ keep-your-spouse-happy price = $6999.99 [you get your share of 9s too!]"

is your spouse happy now? i don't have any, so doesn't apply. but i will have to resist the lure for a while.

okay, the tip from my source on the UK price has been found to be almost accurate. £4850 instead of £4900!

may be there was a last minute change in the price - perhaps, a negotiation between Leica and dealers whether to price it 4900 or 4800, and they might have settled for the mean price of £ 4850 .
