And where does one find a real rangefinder - versus a "viewfinder" - digital
camera? No one I know of makes one. ;-)

Roger -

The controls are slightly different but not enough to be confusing.  The
only way I can tell a difference in the files is that the Leica ones begin
with an L and the Panasonic ones with a P.
I have read that the brand and size of the SD card makes a difference in
the processing time.  With the Lexar 128 MB card it takes less than three
seconds between exposures.  After a series of 4 photos, it takes 9 seconds.

That depends on whether you want a rangefinder or SLR.  There are
advantages and disadvantages to each.
