The fact that they made relatively few of them and they are still readily available makes me wonder if anyone else will make one.

This is one of the reasons I never considered digital before I tried a friend's DSLR last year and realized that the shortcomings of digital that I knew about applied mainly to P&S cameras but had been largely solved in the world of DSLRs. Having said that, I do like the rangefinder style, and if Leica (or someone else) comes up with a good digital M at a price I can afford, I will take a very hard look at it. The current Epson effort isn't it, however.
