Please read my thread here, and chime in with your own personal views or feelings regarding the desire to shoot a film Leica but my realization that digital just seems to work better for me.
I'm very conflicted, and need to know I'm not the only photographer struggling with these issues...
Don't forget that a Leica user determines the aperture and the focus and the shutter speed, while the D700 user almost always lets the camera do those things. If someone has trouble getting a good exposure with a Leica and slide film, he is just as likely to have trouble getting a good exposure using a D700 in manual mode.
I.e., a comparison between a fully manual camera and a fully automated camera serves little purpose.

Sorry, but you don't have to use all of the automation that is available in a modern DSLR but at least you have that choice. That kind of stereo typing of a DSLR shooter is just Leica elitism and a crock.
