[Leica] Philip from Nankhunda

Half the problem, BD.

The kids might still look at me, being up higher, than the camera,
even if it is low down.

Good point though, comparing to a TLR.

I looked long and hard at the Olympus models before I picked up this
camera for my trip. The lenses you mention (11-22) weren't part of the
package and I couldn't figure out if the kit lenses were what I would
like. So I went with a Nikon D80.

The $400 price tag leaves the door open for alternatives, have to admit it.
