No, it’s not a super SLR with all accessories and extra lenses. It’s a compact camera with a large sensor, but otherwise standard spec and a non-interchangeable, low zoom, fairly dim lens.

16 Mpxl
2.5x zoom, 18-46mm (28-70mm eq.), f/3.5-6.4 zoom lens.
Weight 628 g

The Department of Homeland Security would probably buy a few hundred and Internal Revenue Service employees would probably buy some on their government issued credit cards.

Leica cameras and their accessories have always been expensive.
