I think that the real rangefinder viewer will be one that fits in the
hot shoe. Unless they have done a major makeover of the viewfinder, it
won't be very effective (the 50mm lines would be a small box in the
middle of the viewfinder).

Part of my bias here is that the new crop of zoom lenses for digitals
look very good to me. The ones with CA tend to be the 40-400 superzooms,
which I don't care much about anyway. If you can give me a really good
28-90 (35mm equivalent) zoom in a digital camera, it will cover me for
just about anything I want to do.

Lack of noise at higher ISO values, real rangefinder viewfinder rather
than electronic, RAW buffer (this is a guess on my part), use of prime
lenses.

You hit that nail on the head. Why pay twice as much for a lensless body
when the Digilux 2 is doing the job just fine?
