After reading Sean Reid's excellent review of the Epson R-D1 on "The 
Luminous Landscape" I cannot help but think if only Leica could claim what 
Epson now can.....that they made the first digital rangefinder camera. Think 
what that would have meant to the Leica company as a whole on a worldwide 
basis and for their future in the digital realm. It is really too bad that 
Leica could not have gotten their act together and even tied in with 
Panasonic for their point and shoots, have a Panasonic-Leica brand 
rangefinder on the market NOW. Such are wishes from those who wait and would 
have wished to see the effort from Leica itself for the first digital 
rangefinder.
