wyk_penguin, I think you make an excellent point, and one that I have thought about, plus if I had a faster camera I wouldn't have to take three shots in a row all the time. I really do like the idea of shooting with film.

Could you explain what you mean? 🙂jmarcus said:

I get bored if I take several shots of the same thing. I usually only take one or two shots of a given thing unless it is either extraordinarily interesting or a particularly difficult capture. A huge part of the joy of photography for me is getting back a roll or looking at an SD card at the end of the day and seeing all the different pictures. If they are all of the same thing I get bored quickly and don't scan/print all of them. But in any case, I shoot both film and digital, and while I am a bit more liberal with digital, I still don't take very many shots. When I was driving around Northern Japan, I think the most I took in a day was 90 shots, which is a TON for me. Of those, probably 80 were completely different.

Doug -- I have a feeling he means shutter/focus lag...

What's the appeal of a rangefinder for you? Is it the compactness, the lack of mirror slap/noise or what?
If you want DSLR level photo quality, but don't want mirror slap, the Sony R1 seems like a nice package that doesn't have mirrors flopping around - but its kind of big.
If you want something compact and fast, I'd suggest waiting for the Fuji F30 to come out and take a look at that before committing to the otherwise very nice looking Panasonics that folks have mentioned.
