Except for Leica you can have a pretty powerful digital camera for around $400 meaning Olympus 410's, Nikon D40's, Pentax 10 and 20's, Canon XT's etc. You gotta love declarative sentences. Leica desperately needs to hook up with some decent full frame sensor manufacturer and some sophisticated software engineers who can bring the same high ISO capabilities to the M8.X chasis as Nikon and Canon have. Then I can selfishly keep using the rangefinder I so love for everything. If someone came out with a rangefinderish camera and a premium line of lenses can you say gone in 60 seconds? My meaning for rangfinderish is the window I so love composing photo's with instead of an SLR. It could be a really high quality LCD that show focus as you focus. I don't mean to start another wish camera list, but the G!0 with interchangeable lenses and a much larger sensor would work for me.
