D. B.D. - If you like using rangefinders, you will like the Digilux better than the D60. The D60's viewfinder is not much better and thier LCD screen is only good for reviewing what you have taken. I used the D60 for a day and did not like trying to frame the photo through that tiny viewfinder. The ability to use regular lenses is a plus, but then you have to worry obsessively about getting dust in the camera and on the fragile CCD. I'll get a digital SLR when I can get one that uses my Leica lenses and has a viewfinder like the R8. In the meantime, the Digilux does a fine job when I need digital.
