I haven't tried the lowest quality but the high quality jpeg and the tiff beat anything that my Nikon 990 could do. I can send anybody e-mail samples. The autofocus is very fast and very accurate and the photo output is easily good enough for 11x14 prints. I'm hoping for even better from the Leica version, but I got an e-mail from Leica today that says that they won't be available until after the first week in June :-( probably too late for my trip to Honduras. I'll have to make do with the Panasonic and my new M7. I went to Steve's Digicam site and could find nothing but rave reviews for the LC5. Where did you find this poor review?
