Nice strap handles on the side there.

The good news is that they seem to be making a digital version of their M series range finder cameras, but it’s probably going to be Leica-priced.

I’ve got one of those. It’s nice and small, but doesn’t quite handle as well as a Leica M series (few cameras do).
I guess the closest thing out there is the Epson R-D1. There’s a review here: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/epson-rd1.shtml

Just got the lx-1, which I’m loving. Sharp lens; more noise than your typical dslr, but the image stabilization works well.

the Ricoh GR Digital seems to be the closest it comes to…but buying the additional viewfinder and only having the option to change to a 21mm lens (otherwise fixed at 28mm) might be a disadvantage…and it’s not quite 10 megapixels yet.

still - after some thought it seems good enough for me, although i’m going to wait until later this year to see if anything better comes out first…

The digital M is still on schedule for September. I’m already saving my money.

I thought I’d draw your attention to this - it looks very promising.
