Martin,

I just bought the Fuji MX-2700 on a trip to Tokyo and am very happy with it.
The new Leica Digilux Zoom is essentially a Fuji MX-1700. The 1700 does not
have as high a resolution as the 2700, but has a 3x optical zoom.

I'd be happy to try and answer any specific questions. A good place for
on-line links and comparisons of digital cameras is: www.steves-digicams.com
