Yes, but Leitz doesn't make any sub $100 P&S models. The high price of Leitz
flagship products goes hand in hand with the *lack* of any products which could
be viewed as "low end". This is where Olympus will not pull it off - any high
esteem which is placed on the OM line is by a select few, and is overshadowed
by the masses who see Oly P&S cameras competing with the mainstream, with only
a select few models distinguishing themselves...
IMHO... ;-)
