I think this is the first M10 limited edition, so they'll have several more in the pipeline.How many iterations are they going for with this old 24 MP sensor with expensive trappings?

(FWIW) I'm not offended by anything you wrote - I just dont understand what you are trying to say.This post of mine is not going to make me many friends, I just hope it does not loose me existing ones!
What a sanctimonious, hypocritical and warped but most likely a sincere ‘ feelings ‘ thread.
Let’s talk sneakers...yes the ones people wear on their feet. How much do the Nike, Reebok, Addidas cost?
Clothes..yes the ‘ bear ‘ necessities..or underclothings..Let’s think.I think of the streets of Paris, Bond street, Seville Row.Georgio etc. And if I have some change left..CK, Victoria’s Secret ( for someone I have somewhere ).you get the idea?
Cars...yes, the ones to get from A to B. Let’s think of Italy, Stuttgart, Munich, not forgetting our 007 hero!
Food...yes that which is what we eat to live..Oysters, shark fin drinks, caviar and the list goes on. Tea at Fortnum and Mason anyone?
Tiffany’s, Cartier, Chanel and of course LV for a wedding ring, luggage amongst the other ‘ bear ‘ necessities that are required to survive eh!
Cameras, indeed. Nikon, Canon, Sony, Fuji, Olympus etc all. Then there are those outfits from Europe. Even Leica! But poor me..I only have 2 D850s, with some 400/500/600 teles. Going on Safari? Yes, to ‘ shoot ‘ some big game.
I am getting tired. Need coffee. Starbucks...nah. Let’s try some in Vienna.The ambience, the gentry, the sound of...well you know.
How about a short vacation...where to? Salzburg, Innsbruck, St. Moritz? No, I just have enough for Aspen, CO.!
But you get my drift...right? The list above is just a sampling.
Why single out Leica? Let’s take an honest look at ourselves. Find anything that might look ‘ distasteful ‘ to others?
Because this is a photography forum, none of the other examples you mention have anything to do with photographyWhy single out Leica?
Hi Marc! hope you and yours are well - long time no see my freind -I wouldn't loose any sleep over hypocrisy. I doubt many here would dream of owning this camera while snoozing anyway.
To me it is a manifestation of the need to be different at any cost. Style and design for the sake of ANY style and design so one feels "exclusive".
No one said that it would always be done in good taste (depending on who decides what that good taste may be).
So, we have an ordinary functional sport shoe turned into clown shoes, or everything from a Bentley to an Escalade converted into a carnival on wheels.
Leica is already a 1%er's choice of camera, so how does one separate themselves from an already hyper-exclusive club (presupposing one has that need and can afford to indulge it)?
Most here are practical photographers that prefer the whole Leica gestalt, and have the means to participate. It's a mix of historical patina and just enough current ability to make photos ... wrapped in legacy and exclusivity.
(FWIW) I'm not offended by anything you wrote - I just dont understand what you are trying to say.
If you are saying that Leica can't be questioned then I guess that ends the conversation.
If you are saying that people are entitled to buy whatever they wish - who exactly disagrees with that?
If you are saying people shouldn't criticise bad taste - then that speaks against open discussion of opinion.
As for your list of things (presumably examples the high life and big spending) personaly I find them all banal - but hey whatever floats people's boats right?
This is a forum and peopel will often discuss the merits of this or that versus the other thing.No harm no foul.
