Natan, Leica is the acknowledged world leader in digital rangefinder cameras
too! If you love using rangefinders cameras, you acknowledge the quality of
the Leica lenses, you wish to work with digital capture and you want state
of the art (some might say bleeding edge) it is spelt M8 ;-)

But then I wonder how much of that difference is due to the difference  
in sensor/software configurations (an area in which Leica has no  
particular competitive advantage) vs. difference in lens quality  
between the Leica M and Canon lenses (an area in which Leica is the  
acknowledged world leader).
