Leica D-Lux 4 price-hike under way (some $700, some $800)

As it was rumored in late December (BJoP and one retailer), the Leica D-Lux 4 is now in transition from the current price of $700 to the new price of $800. Already B&H Photo, J&R World, and Dale Photo and Digital have jumped to $800, while others remain (as of the time of writing) at $700. We have caught this at a transition point, so prices may increase across the board quickly. We round-up the action at the D-Lux4 price increase alert at the Camera Deals blog.
