It should still bother him. A Leica should be a "dream purchase". They charge top dollar and they are competing with some of the best pro cameras. The very idea that "it just wouldn't work right" is almost inconceivable. Maybe I'm just being naive here but why else would anyone buy a Leica if not for superb if maybe eclectic performance? In terms of actual usage I'll bet that the Canon and Nikon offerings in that range are better all around workhorse cameras.
