Best part is the Leica-branded lens that gives a 25mm-125mm zoom. Only things missing are RAW files and a viewfinder. I had it in my pocket while downtown last Friday and was able to grab this photo: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Gary+Todoroff/General/Ben+Nord+Memorial+Procession.jpg.html Gary At 12:33 PM 7/22/2009, you wrote: >In this case what I'm waiting for, thanks for asking, is a compact camera a >digital equivalent of a Leica IIIF to exist on a much bigger crop or no >crop. >A pocket quality digital camera. >A digital Olympus Clamshell XA or >Rollei 35 or >Contax T3 >Did they try to pawn those off to us in half frame?
