Well Leica isn't really Leica anymore so the days of them being the pinnacle of photographic hardware are gone. They really missed the boat in digital. Shot Leica's and Nikons for years. What I really want is an F3T with a digital sensor conversion kit. That's never going to happen when Nikon insists on trying to squeeze 10K plus out of you for a pro digital solution.
Oh yeah, and it's bigger than a friggin buick now. I realize batteries are the limiting factor in downsizing DSLR's but by god no way am I ever going down that road again. For the size of a DSLR kit I might as well carry the ELM into the field and scan to digital.
I'll lug around the P5000 and 6000 with the TC3 Ed convertor and the EC 63 and have a fairly good solution for most cases.
When it came down to it for a main Digital Camera it was the GF series (largely due to the availability of adapters for Leitz M glass) an entry level DSLR and the final winner the Fuji HS20. The Fuji won out with lens performance envelope and AA battery operation. Thus far I have not regretted that purchase.
