No great photography but because it's so small I carry it everywhere. I love my Leicas but there are times and purposes for which other tools are the best. The biggest drawback is that some of the p & s digitals have a long lag between pressing the shutter and the image being taken. The Leica Digilux does not have this problem so it may be a price point thing - My Canon at ~$400 does have this horrible lag. ernie On Monday, June 9, 2003, at 12:58 PM, Levi wrote: > > I want to take snapshots of my little kids.
