Thanks for speaking up for me, but I'll pass. I wouldn't buy one. Period. And I use a Leica M for substantially more than 90% of my 35mm photography, at least 95% (I DO carry a Rollei 35 in my glovebox, which uses up most of the remaining 5%). The Canon EOS simply sits on the shelf, and it HAS the features you speak of -- but I don't like the camera nearly as much as I do my M3 or M6.
