I sold off all my old junk cameras, including a Contax 139 ESL, Contax T2, and my outdated FujiFilm 4900 Zoom. It was about enough money to buy the very little Leica D-Lux, which is nothing but AF with 3.2 megapixals and 3X Zoom. This tiny little bastard sure is cute. I took some pictures in the fog and mist around the University of Wash. this morning, had them enlarged to 8" X 12". I couldn't beleave how sharp and detailed they were, -you would never know they were digital. A shot inside my living room revealed that the tiny flash just wasn't enough to fill the room however and left it quite dark. The red-eye compinsation with two flashes had problems, -it seemed that the lag time between the shots was too long, the model wouldn't hold the expression for the second flash and I started to move my camera before the second flash occured. My other critisism is it's almost too tiny. I'm not used to handling such a small camera, even the Contax T2 is larger.
So now I'm thinking, do I want to keep this camera. It would make an excellent traveling camera but now that I got a taste of what the Leica lens will do, I'm beginning to think I should loosen up and spend the lot of extra bucks for the new Leica Digilux 2. It looks almost like the Leica M's and has manual.
