I had a good look through the technical page you included and I find the camera very interesting. I'm going to see if the local Leica shop has one in stock or can bring one in? As I said earlier about the DIGILUX 2 I enjoyed "playing with it, even though it seemed to be a tad slow in carrying out its functions. But I think the fact you can turn it into a "B&W" camera was great/is great! It's a fun camera for "happy snapping and not for use on paying projects." Although I have on occasion used it on client assignment conditions, generally as a kind of back-up for later comparison to M8? Print results to picture results. Thanks again. cheers, ted -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Roger Rubin Sent: December-26-14 8:14 AM To: lug Subject: [Leica] CHRISTMAS CUTIE/ PAULINE Ted Grant wrote: " Is this camera something like the Leica Digilux 2?" Hi Ted: Basically the camera is a small, compact PanaLeica (Leica made by Panasonic) with a very short Leica branded zoom f1.7-2.8. It has myriad bells and whistles best described in the link below, which is the Leica's "sister" camera and is identical in every way except for the built in hand grip. Leica doesn't even say they "tweaked" the software but admits that the only difference between the cameras is the "Red Dot". http://www.dpreview.com/products/panasonic/compacts/panasonic_dmclx100 Ted it was so wonderful to finally meet you in 2013- and not only do I wish you a happy New Year, but add that it should be one of great joy for you and most importantly health. You are our mentor and we love you dearly. Bests: Roger Rubin _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
