I can focus my Leica's faster than I can my Canon's.  The Canon's you 
have to set a dial choosing a focus point, then the camera has to 
hunt and hunt in low light to focus.  With the Leica, I usually have 
my fingers on the focus dial and by the time it's up to my eye, I've 
got it approximately where I want it to be, focus on the center of 
interest, recompose and shoot.  I would much rather focus a 
rangefinder than a DSLR anyway - but that's just me.
