Exactly what digital rangefinder competition does Leica have?

Nah, the iPad's been on craigslist for a while now, I hardly see any M9 for sale anywhere.

Nobody can dispute the Chuck Norris of photography. Except he lied on a few occasions and caught red handed. When I need entertainment, I read his site :)

I think you are right, they don't have a competition in this area, yet.

Nope. None.
The Epson RD-1 was the only other digital rangefinder and I wouldn't really call it competition.

Not sure i get the correlation to the iPad though.

I love that Leica Man page. That's always been my favorite thing on Ken's site.

I would SO own an Epson RD-1 if I could afford it. The fact that you have to cock the shutter before each shot intrigues me SO!
