OMG, I ♥ PONIES!!1 asked:


I currently use a Nikon dSLR but sometimes this is too noisy and too large for my taste - even with a small prime.

I’m looking for something pocketable, quiet, with a wide angle, and great image quality at f/2.8.

A digital point shoot is silent and has a great form factor, but I have yet to see one that’s responsive or offers shallow depth of field.

A Leica M? I could live with the price of a used one but these cameras draw *more* attention than my dSLR. Possibly a Voigtlander. Any other rangefinders with a great lens selection?

Point shoots such as the Contax T2/ T3, Ricoh GR1, Yashica T4/ T5 etc. all seem to have drawbacks of their own (mostly lacking features or a p.i.t.a. user interface). They’re also all getting fairly old for a used electronic device. Any new stuff?

What would you use?
