I've had a Digilux 2 for about a year, but I think I'm going to sell it. 
It's bigger than a real M, and the pictures that it produces are about the 
same as those from the Canon G5 that I had before.

While I wait for a real Digital M, and have sold my Digilux 2, I think I'm 
either going to buy a Canon G6 or else pull out all the stops and get an EOS 
1D or 1Ds. I like the idea of having a camera that is good in its intended 
genre. A Digilux 2 is not a good imitation of a Leica M, but a Canon EOS 1D 
is a very good imitation of an SLR.
