Well, when I got up this morning I was of a completely different frame of mind from last night. I've checked out all the more recent suggestions. The Leica, and even the Sony, are not in my budget. The Nikon's in the ballpark, but I think the quote from Godfrey above tipped me over into the current mindset: the *ist DS with a single prime. I have an an A 50/1.7 and an A 28/2.8. It will be a trade-off between the speed of the 50 and the wider angle of the 28. And John Sessom's suggestion, I think I'll look to Op-Tech for my solution for carrying the camera, in part because it will be inexpensive, in part because it comes reasonably close what I think I need/want. Thanks to everyone. You all helped, even if I did not adopt your suggestion.
