I think you'll find that the prices of sensors, like the prices of several
other things, are quite closely related to volume. I don't recall anybody
suggesting that Leica is a high volume camera maker. A manufacturer who
was able to commit to rather higher volumes than Leica would find the
price of the sensor to be correspondingly lower.
