Hell, I thought that the "Name" made up half the cost on a Leica.

the Leica with a 10MP sensor and less components lists for $9K. since
Kodak also makes the 645D sensor, there no chance that the 645D sensor
will cost substantially less than the one used in the Leica. the
sensor makes up easily half the OEM cost of the camera.

There's a world of price differentiation between and F3 and the 645D.
Yeah, hobbyists will use a 645 system that they purchased for a grand
or so. But will they come up with close to 10K for a digital body?
Some say it will be much more. I doubt it. If there's no pro market
for a 645D, it will be dead on arrival.
