Greg, I'm almost certain we have some LUG folk with different opinions on 
the utility of the four thirds system! What I meant was
that the Digilux 3 seems oddly positioned to me compared to the M8.
Like the sort of DSLR that an M user might buy, except that now.....
Cheers
Hoppy

This format reminds me of Kodak's last strange film format: APS.

I hope it works out (for Leica's sake) but I can't see it capturing a major 
market share. Digital APS?
