Best message on this topic. Thanks. What the old Leica of old did was the famous 'F8 and be there' -- basically at F8 with a mirrorless rangefinder there was enough DoF to shoot pretty much anything, at anytime (apart from pitch black) and still come out with a printable picture... Even a modern DSLR doesn't give you that, as the autofocus will take a bit of time, unless you disable it. Same with the u4/3 and other mirrorless. I preferred digital carry-on is a Panasonic DMC-GM1 with a fixed 14mm lens. It's bigger than a mobile phone, but it's also considerably better, and the battery last weeks, not hours. I also still shoot my 1947 leica IIIc, and the old leica M2, just because I love handling them! The funny bit is that I can shoot anything and anyone anywhere with my old 35mm rangefinder, and people will look at you and smile at you even. Try that with a digital monster or a mobile phone and people will just close down like a clam.
