He brought me a little newspaper clipping with a photo of a new Leica Digilux camera. Its reminds me of a Minilux but oriented vertically. It has a 1.5 Megapixel chip to record images and uses a RISC processor. It has a single focal length lens equivalent to a 35mm and a small built-in flash. The price is listed as 1798 Marks. Anyone else hear about this? How does 1798 Marks change into $$$ ? I was going to look into a 75 Summilux lens but at this point, I'd rather wait to see if I decide to buy my first digital camera. Unfortunately, no release date was mentioned. With Photokina coming up next month, I wonder whether this camera will be released for sale or just for show to generate interest. Happy shooting, Richard Richard Clompus, OD West Chester, PA, USA
