Hi Ted, Actually, having played with the D2 and also looked at the G5 and Olympus 5060, I think that the D2 is better when it comes to the form factor: manual focusing and exposure setting is far easier than on the other cameras. But as I noted earlier, I absolutely hate the electronic viewfinder. If Leica had provided a proper optical viewfinder and coupled it to the lens, I would have strongly considered entering the digital age with this camera, despite the price. As it is, I will stick with my Ms and CLs.
