new leica digital

Actually - Bill Mitchell isn't that far off in his design comments re

the similarity to the 1941 <a href="http://cameraquest.com/ektra.htm">

Kodak Ektra</a>.

 

<p>

 

But Bill...retro is IN! Get a 1940's-looking camera to carry in your

1940's-looking PT Cruiser or 'new' VW Beetle.

I have yet to hear anyone here comment on the phrase "Vario-Summicron".

Doesn't that just trip off the tongue? When will the M get a Vario-

Summicron instaed of Vario-Elmars?

 

<p>

 

Personally, if they sell a wide-angle adapter that takes the "33mm-

equivalent" lens out to a "24/21-equivalent" - then I could start to

get interested!

Wonder if it's available in all-black or all-chrome - or just this

'panda' version.

Not one to be a big fan of digital cameras, but I have to say the

Digilux looks right in it's "retro" design. Some of these compact

digitals are getting too small. Ever tried to shoot with a Nikon 885?

I need a kid's hand to shoot with it. I think it's the first digital

to have a built-in hood. Someone was thinking!

The look of the digilux is fine...

You have a Leica Lens ~ Vario-Summicron,

4 megapixels ~ which is excellent for its Point and Shoot design

and keep in mind, also how long before Leica introduces the adapter

to utilize the R Lenses or even M lenses, who would be able to

compare their product to the digilux I.... NO ONE !Don't forget this

is a point and shoot fixed lens format..Let's give them credit...
