LOL! 6 of Ebay's Top 10 Digital Rangefinders are NOT Rangefinders!

Written Feb 24th 2015, Leica M240 and Leica M-P NOT included!

Where does ebay they find the "writers" with so little knowledge about what they are writing about ?

Another Ebay low.

And eBay descriptions of Leica cameras and lenses are just as bad. A lot of flowery filler and fluff with no real information.

DpReview calls any mirrorless camera without a hump a "rangefinder style camera." So there is a precedent.

I assumed you meant precedent, but yes -- the term Rangefinder has been used wrong for a few years now. It seems that it's ok as long as you tack on the word style.

The ones that really stretch my generosity in the use of the "rangefinder-style" terminology are the Sony, Olympus, and the GF - they don't even have an EVF in the top left corner, let alone a window-finder of some sort like the Fujis... sheesh!

I wonder why they removed the fed 2 inscription off the first camera with the girl?

Even with film seems like a lot of folks think any camera with a viewfinder is a 'rangefinder'. Such cameras as the Rollei 35, Olympus Trip, and other scale focusing 35mm cameras are often lumped in with rangefinders.
