Rather than spend a thousand bucks for a good digital SLR, keep the film SLR you have (I have a Leica M3), shoot a roll of film, have the developer make a CD, and transfer the pics to your computer. Use any digital software for editing. The pictures are as good or better than what you can take with any digital camera.
What I hate is loading the damn film in the camera (tricky for an M3). What you don't get is the instant LCD readout of your shot on the camera.

Have a M3 as well and most of the old M series are like that on reloading.
For a new digital camera, the Leica Digilux 2 is unbelieveable. Sorry but I am sold on Leica's as their optics and such are excellent. Bought this one used for $900 (list is almost $2000) and its worth every penny.
Shooting in raw format I have blown prints up over 10x with no graining. Hard to fault that...
