Thanks, Beth - ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Robert Rose" <rjr@usip.com> Reply-To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> CC: <cyberdog@ibm.net> Subject: [Leica] leica digilux zoom Date: Thu, 04 Nov 1999 12:37:50 -0800 Actually, looking at both the Leica and Fuji sites it looks more like the Fuji MX 1700, which although has 1.5 M pixels, has 3x optical zoom.

Others are already over 2 millions of pixels, the Leica only has 1.5 million. If you want the "best" of what's currently available in this price range, get the Nikon Coolpix 950. >I am having problems finding a store which carries them - I may have to >order one sight unseen.

The Leica Digilux Zoom is nothing more than a rebadged Fuji MX 2700. You may be easier off buying one of these if you want to touch it first !
