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.
