Will the control software be made in Germany? Will the video sub assembly be made in Germany? Will the output processor sub assembly be made in Germany? Will the lenses be made with Germany made glass (shott)? Will the lenses be made in Germany? The prior American boss (came from Best Buy of all places) at Leica spent a lot of time traveling visiting manufacturers in Germany or in Japan? What percentage of this camera will be made using made in Germany parts? Will the actual camera packaging be made in Germany? If your dropping say $10 to $20K, do you care?

Nikon D3x price was in this shop already when it was not released yet so I think the price will not be 20`000 $! What do you think about this –
