They'll Paaaaaaaaaaay. Rangefinder digitals with Leica glass or the alternative glass will be the way to shoot for most of the people of the former LUG mentality. I think the average camera system for the average pro or serious enthusiast in ten years will involve both film and digital bodies along with the lenses and flashes which of course fit both. And people will have the option of Rangefinder or SLR like they do now in film. And larger format like they do now in film. And smaller formats than 35mm as well like they do now in film. Or all built in to one piece like they do now in film. (like the Canon PowerShot Pro or Fujifilm FinePix S20 Pro, Konica-Minolta DiMAGE A2, Nikon Coolpix 8700, Olympus Camedia E-20P, Sony Cybershot DSC-F828. Or Point & Shoot like they do now in film which like Rangefinder cameras remain much less of a big deal thing to point at somebody.
