When I tried it out at a Leica Day event I immediately said the same thing.
I got some looks from a few around me like "You think so?" HELL YES!! If you
hands are even the slightest bit oily or sweaty handling the camera feels
risky! Far worse than an M w/o a grip ;) I don't know what they were
thinking on this one...

Something I've heard dealing with the odd oversharp look you get with these
Panasonic/Leica cameras is that. If your posting on the web at a "normal"
size you wont see it. And if your printing it will keep the photo looking
nice and crisp but the "artifacting" you see on screen will not show up on
the print. This was from a foreign (as opposed to US) magazine...
