Subject: [Leica] Digilux 2 review pt posted - many samples

Sorry B.D., unless Sean has a hidden agenda. He means what he says. 
Apparently he has purchased a number of digital cameras that he has 
previously tested. Of course, rather than you suggesting a different 
interpretation to his words, then what those words actually mean (and post 
it to the Lug), I suggest that you may want to email him and ask him if he 
really intended to convey a different message. I suspect he also knows what 
the MSRP is in US$ for the Digilux 2 as well, Holga's notwithstanding. 

Regards,

Greg
