Wondering if their any Leica digital users on the forum ?

Yep, an M9.
Anyone else?
I use the Digital M8 and M9. Though I own 6 M3's, 2 M6 TTL's, 1 M7 and six Hexar RF's. And a few of them even have film in them, so I often pack one into my bag whenever I head out.
Got any example shots of taken by the M3? I've interested in getting one cause they look so cool but i'd also like to take some shots with it... looking for a SS with a 50mm summicron
Whether you use Leica M3, or any other M based film rangefinder (Including Voigtlander Bessa) you will get the same result. What matters is the film and the lens that you attach to the camera. The camera is just a box with a shutter and a viewfinder.
To answer the OP, I don't have M9 but I'm very happy with my M8. I used to shoot with Pentax between 2006-2010 but sold it all and bought into Leica. Currently have Zeiss 25mm f/2.8 Biogon, Leica 35mm f/1.4 Summilux ASPH II (FLE), Leica 50mm f/1.4 Summilux ASPH. I shoot film as well with a Voigtlander Bessa R2A.

Had an M9, sold it, will be selling my M8 soon, great cameras but I can't justify the $$$ for the amount I photograph. Im very happy with using a NEX-5 with rangefinder glass instead and an M2 with film

Sold my M9 as well dont know what all the fuss was about . Have Fuji X100 on order
I bought a Leica M8.2 at the start of the year, I carry it everywhere with me and have been photographing almost exclusively with it. Really enjoy it a lot more than my Canon 7D. Oddly enough I have a Panasonic LX5 compact which I have enjoyed immensely as well. I used to carry that around everywhere before purchasing the Leica.
I had a look at some the the Fuji X100 samples and to my eyes they looked good for out of camera jpeg files. But I feel it's raw output in ACR will be a real test of the overall image quality.
