[Leica] Intro

There are plans for Leica to produce a digital rangefinder, but not
for a few years. The Epson RD-1 is currently the only compact digital
rangefinder with interchangeable lenses. I have the Panasonic
equivalent to the Digilux 2, and it is a very nice camera for
outdoors. But in low light, it is too noisy to use.
