Actually, if he sells the camera, then each click was costing about 1 euro.
Never-the-less, its his money should he should do with it as he wishes. For reference, a Sofort camera costs 1,30 per click, and a film camera is around 0,40 per click (and you don't need a computer to view the images ...).
Makes you wonder, if we really progress that much ...
Wait until the camera companies take a page from Adobe and offer cameras on a subscription basis... Shutter only works while the subscription is paid and rate based on actuation volume. I would be in trouble.
And don't think they haven't thought about this....
That said, there would be huge backlash, rightfully so.
Anyway, I shoot a lot. I grew up with film. In some ways digital was liberating, but the possibility of shooting endlessly is also a greater editing burden. So each of us find a suitable compromise.
If some M9/M240 owners are worried about resale, they must be living in the past (2009-2011) when there was a general shortage of Leica product available new and second handprices were as high, or higher than new. This would have been reassuring for some to jump into Leica since loss would be minimal on resale. But then Leica addressed demand with sufficient supply and resale prices have declined significantly. I would say back down to sane levels (at least relative to Leica's retail prices). While those hoping for high resale lose out, those looking to enter the Leica system now have more affordable options.
