Don't forget too that you are paying $1850 for a point-and-shoot with a
top ISO of only 400 - compared to 1600 and 3200 with the DSLRs...granted
that there's allot of noise at those higher isos,  but there is with
high speed film as well...and at 800 noise isn't an issue with the Canon
DSLRs.....

I've always preferred the larger size of my M6 over the smaller IIIC
that I used to have, so perhaps the size is a subjective thing.
Certainly the Digilux price is high but apart from the electronic
viewfinder I like the design. However for someone shooting in Raw mode I
can't see any reason to go for the Leica offering over the cheaper
Panasonic. The major claimed difference between the Panasonic LS5 and
the Digilux I was the difference in firmware, I would have thought this
would be irrelevant if shooting Raw.

BTW - My point isn't to say that this proves something great about the
E-1...It's to point out what a monstrosity the DigiII is given that it's
a fixed lens point-and-shoot.....;-)
