"Do you find that the LeicaLika is fast enough for candid style photography?"


Chris, I have the cheaper version Lumix (LC40) with the same imaging system 
as the Digilux 1.  I'd say that candid photos are a strong point of the 
camera if you're willing to use the optical viewfinder and pre-focus before 
taking the shots.  The response is *nearly* instantaneous and there's an 
audible click that helps a lot.  It's easy to get used to, IMO.  I've 
uploaded a few images that are supposed to illustrate quickly-captured 
moments, if not necessarily *decisive* ones, taken with the LC40.  None of 
these have been cropped, so you can see essentially what I thought I was 
getting when I took the picture.  The ones from a fashion show were with 
flash from the floor beneath the runway; the models were modeling (moving), 
not posing.  The others were natural light.  Whatever might be wrong with 
these pictures, it can't be blamed on the camera or its speed of 
operation.  Comments are welcome.
