The images from those cameras do not begin to compare with the images from Leicas. I'm convinced the difference is first the lenses and second the CCD sensor instead of the CMOS and third the absence of the AA filter. Whatever it is, it is obvious when you look at the images. All you have to do is look at Doug Herr's photos and you know why he uses Leicas. I'm sure Doug's photos would be wonderful made with any camera system, but they are spectacular made with Leicas.
