I'm splitting hairs just for the sake of splitting hairs but there are varying degrees of rangefinder from completely autofocus like the G1/G2 to the Hexar to the other P&S cameras out there that used triangulation for distance calculation. Yeah, they aren't manual focus Leicas but nothing else is.
