I fully agree in your conclusion about whats important for good pictures.
Alas, to gabble and twaddle in forums and user groups, reason 4) becomes
quite more importance :-)
Another question: Have you considered shooting digital? There are a lot of
reasons that speak for it. Less film/lab costs and faster picture output,
for instance. Instead of an expensive digital rangefinder or dslr camera,
there are more and more quite usable compact cameras. Leica D-Lux 3 or Ricoh
GX100 to mention the more pocketable ones, or Leica V-Lux-1 (Panasonic Lumix
LC-10) for the more dslr-sized compacts.
