[Leica] Re:Panasonic releases the Lumix DMC-L1

So while it's there it's what, too dark? not useful for focusing? They
went to a lot of expense to create it - and it seems to me "to what
end?" It sounds like putting a range-finder on it would have been MORE
useful?

I'm not trolling here. I've gone out looking to hold an E330 in my
hands but haven't walked into a camera shop that actually had one.
