George - Good picture quality, usually?-it depends to some degree on the bit 
rate available if you are streaming.  Easy on-screen movie rental if you 
have an iTunes account.  Movie rentals about $5 for recent releases.  Easy 
streaming from my iPad for movies and TV shows that are on my Amazon Prime 
account.  Movies rented thru Apple sometimes lose sync and jerk a bit during 
prime time.  

Have not yet explored Netflix or Hulu, though I?m told Netflix is great for 
old movies, not so great for recent ones.  

I rarely use it to look at photos so can?t say much about that though it?s 
easy enough to set up.

I?m about to go buy some film and give my 60 year old M3 a workout.  A test 
roll yesterday showed all the shutter speeds and the rangefinder were on the 
money despite it have sat unused in a file cabinet drawer for at least 10 
years.  Wonderful things, Leicas.    

Best, 

Dick
