The 5700 and 5000 are two different beasts altogether, IMHO. The 5000 is much more "M like" and gives you a reasonably fast 28mm-85mm lens. Not many other digitals are offering you a useful 28mm. At 2/3 the size of a M6, it fits in your hand. I put a Leica strap on mine and some black tape on the Nikon logo :-)...yes, it's a digicam good enough for such honors. Now the he 5700 is a marketing case study of trying to be all things to all people - 35mm to 280mm zoom. Now that's just ridiculous. Maybe it's useful when you go to the Hoover Dam or on that 14 day all inclusive safari you've always dreamed of. William - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
