Well, actually, since I switched to Olympus SLRs, the dust reduction  
system has been 100% effective on the E-330 and E-500 thus far. Of  
course, the same will be true of the Digilux 3 and Lumix L1.

Oh, and my new V Lux is turning out to be a lot of fun. Where else  
can one get a 420mm f3.4 IS lens of this quality for that price (or  
the even cheaper FZ50)? And since the lens does not extend  
externally, hopefully this will reduce the eventual appearance of  
dust there, too.

Leica is on a winning streak with the new crop of PS cameras made by  
and with Panasonic, IME. Love the D Lux 3 as well.
