These digital backs probably are extreamly expensive. My bet is almost as expensive as the camera itself.
Why not just get the new Leica Digilux 2 ($1900) or the Panasonic Lumix LC1 ($1600) same camera and lens without the red Leica dot.
Incidently you can get a Kodak digital back for Hasselblads at around $16,000.00.

well its not just the camera i'm trying to save --i'm trying to preserve my investment in high quality lenses as well.so possibly using a dig back on my om body enables me to still use my tamrons, sigmas ,vivitars facilitating use of the new dig technology---i'm not ready to replace all these lenses with horendously expensive digital equivilants.
The Leica back for the R8/R9 is target priced in the $5k range. At this point in time they're floating a number of prices to see the feedback they get from their reps and potential customers.Price could be higher (up to $6500) could be lower ($4200). Either way, they have to come in around the price of the Canon 11 megapixel for the body and back, or they won't be real competetive in the price point range with the Kodak SLR/n going for $4495 from some places.
The Digilux 2 isn't in the same category as an R8 or R9 with a larger format sensor (and larger pixels = less noise), 10 megapixel back.
