I am hoping for a bright viewfinder, low shutter lag.
Also I rather have good autofocus with good confirmation,
than poor manual focus, just for the sake of having
manual focus.  I must say I have little faith that
Leica can pull off a good package, and keep the price decent.

That said, I am moving slowly back to shooting more film.
After 3 years of giving digital my best, I still like
film better for most of my photography.  My position
is contrary to many:  while a digital camera will always
be part of my photographic toolbox, I anticipate that I
will be shooting more and more film, though not 
necessarily 35mm film.  I expect my film output in 2004
to exceed my digital output for the first time in
4 years.  The key for me is to find a good scanning solution,
which I haven't quite yet, but am getting close.  (I am
seeking around 2000dpi "proof scan" of an entire roll of 36 at
around $10 per roll, with an occasional "quality scan" of 5000dpi
at say $5 to $10 per scan; if you know of any such service,
let me know, soon).
