unless you print larger than 5x7 and/or develop and print your own pictures, there's no point of getting a non-digital camera anymore. The Canon G3 can be had for what would cost an inexpensive SLR with one or two cheap lenses. Although the digital quality has not surpassed the best of film, the ease of digital photography is manifold better than traditional photography. Digital photography is superior at taking pictures, darkroom manipulation, and storage; with instant feedback, the freedom of manipulating digital information, the convenience of digital storage instead of shoeboxes, there's less work between your photographs and your creative mind. Do yourself a favor, search for the galleries of people with a digital camera, say the canon g2, and those with leicas and contaxes, and see which have a lot of good pictures.Many digital shooters are snapshooters, and that diminishes in certain eyes the good aspects of digital, and people forget that a camera is just a tool. The less it's in the way between you and your photographs, the better. Unless you are imprisoned by the bad habit, the crafts as some might call it, of traditional photography, like myself who loves the smell of Dektol in the morning, then stick with a film camera. A few months ago, I made some creamy looking 8x10's from a gathering with my friends, taken with Kodak Tmax 100 on a Fuji rangefinder 6x7. People looked at them and said wow great, but eventually, they all visited another friend's website to look at dozen of pictures taken by a digital camera.
