Hello,
        My name is Chris Driggett and I have been doing photography on a 
semi-pro basis ever since I purchased my first camera a Konica TC.  I 
just joined this group because my wife keeps complaining about me 
lugging the Nikon D2h and lenses around with us on vacation. We have 
now 3 small kids and it is getting to be a hassle. I was looking at 
getting a rangefinder system because that would be smaller and yet 
produce the same excllent results. I am looking to get a Leica M7 
camera but was wondering when Leica was going to produce a 
interchangeable lens digital rangefinder.  I have looked at the 
Panasonic DMC-L1, and the Leica digilux 2 cameras but the reviews have 
not been stellar. Anybody with experience with these that can shed some 
light? Also does anybody know when Leica will produce interchangeable 
lens rangefinder?  I do not like the digital point and shoots currently 
because  I prefer setting the exposure controls via good old fashioned 
dials.

Thanks,
Chris
