Leica. Polaroid. Eastman Kodak. How far the mighty have fallen, friends. Leica is aiming for the stars, Polaroid is almost gone, and Kodak, bless its heart, is hanging on by a thread. Has old Kodachrome fallen yet? No, it hasn’t, thanks to easy to use entry-level cameras like the C875.

The camera does not come with 4GB of storage. It takes an SD card, and the camera supports cards up to 4GB. The reason why this camera is so expensive is 1)it uses a larger than usual sensor. 2)it's a rangefinder, which means it has to be ALOT smaller than DSLR's (sure, you could make it big, but what would be the point). 3)it's a friggin Leica, their film M series camera's cost 3k!
