Is there a Digital SLR similar to the Rangefinder Leica M8?

I love that the Leica M8 has all the knobs of old cameras, is there a DSLR that also has knobs like the M8? Thanks!
The Leica Digilux 3 and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1 are the closest it gets. There’s a knob for shutter speed adjustment and select lenses (mentioned below) have physical aperture rings.

What is the next best thing to an optical Leica 35mm SLR ?

I want to get my wife a really great optical camera. She has a digital — Leica Digilux already. She would like to upgrade her optical SLR.
So comparing to the Leica Digilux 2 that you get, any decent digital SLR has a better sensor, so that the picture you capture will be less noisy (i.e., [...]

Questions about Cameras.?

I’m really craving an SLR.
I do NOT want a digital camera. I have a compact digital for the "facebook" and such. I want a 35mm SLR for real photography.
However, I’m no professional so price is a HUGE aspect of this.
It’s pretty much a must for it to have interchangeable lenses.
As far as brands [...]

Can somebody tell me which SLR camera is the best and describe all the different specs?

Which SLR digital camera: Nikon or Leica?

I’m looking at either Nikon D200 or Leica M8: any feedback?
One thing is I would rather have manual focus as I get sick of the camera deciding what I want to focus.
Also, Leica M8’s body is cheaper, but the lenses are more expensive: I like fixed lenses better than getting a range.
Any feedback is appreciated!
The [...]

I wonder if this would be possible?

What if a company decided to design a completely new DSLR with a 35mm sized sensor with the following features:
1) Only three modes: Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and full Manual control.
2) User or Auto controlled white balance.
3) A screen just to check your results. No "Live View".
4) The ability to change ISO at will just [...]

What kind of digital SLR camera should I buy?

I have a Panasonic Lumix. It’s a great non-SLR (has a built in Leica lens with 12x zoom), but its missing some things. I want to shoot in raw mode, and also would like to get something with rear curtain flash, fill flash, interchangeable lenses, and stuff of that sort. In [...]
