Since Tina owns both, she would know better then me, but I have handled
both cameras, and I find that the Panasonic has a much better feel to it,
the Digilux felt very plasticky.  Both cameras are likely identical in the
image department, since they share the same lens and the internal
electronics are the same (I think).  In my parts the Panasonic is also less
expensive.  My local (Leica) dealer has been selling the Panasonic, but
doesn't even stock the Digilux, so he must know something.  

All I'm saying, if you are considering the Digilux, have a look at the
Panasonic.

(Of course, I'm referring to the top of the line Panasonic; I'm aware of at
least three models altogether)
