OK, I'll put on my nit picker's hat...:-) A rangefinder has, by
definition, a rangefinder in it. It doesn't have to be an optical one. Many
point and shoots use an electronic rangefinder mechanism, which is
automatically doing what a photographer would usually do manually, so I have
no problems calling them rangefinders (I put the Contax cameras in this
catagory too). Not that it matters a whole lot what we call them...:-)
