Default Digital Camera

I know that there are a few photogs on here so I thought someone might be able to answer my questions. Does anyone make a digital rangefinder camera with removable lenses, like a modern digital lieca m6.

How about the Leica digital M8? On sale at amazon for $5,495.

PS: Could you explain the whole rangefinder thing? I've never really understood them...

I was hoping for something like the Canon G9 at about 1/10th that price.

I bought a rangefinder off of ebay for $20 because I did not want to bring my expensive camera to mexico. when I got back and developed the film the pics where great and the camera was a lot more convenient to pack and use than my big slr. so I have just gotten to like them.

As already mentioned above, the Leica M8 is a digital rangefinder. It was preceded by the Epson R-D1. The Epson digital rangefinder camera accepts Leica lens, too. The camera ain’t cheap…Leica lenses ain’t cheap. The good news is there are a ton of 3rd party lens manfr for the Leica mount.
