The bottom line here is that for a digi point and shoot, this thing is a Clydesdale...a VERY expensive Clydesdale. ;-) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Richard F.

The particular shot was a Wide Angle shot AND the model was a small person. The Digilux 2 is bigger than most digi-P&S, especially the lens, but it will NOT be bigger than your E-1 :-) // richard (This email is for mailing lists.
