[Leica] Alternative to the Monochrom! GET A DIGILUX 2?

[Richard Man]

Dr. Ted, regarding rebadged Leica: Leica usually delivers a version of
Lightroom or Photoshop Element etc. with their rebadged versions. They also
have longer warranty, and sometimes but rarely they have different body
design or colors or covering.

In other words, in most cases, the functions of the cameras are the same.

Unless one is a diehard Leica fan, it is usually difficult to justify the
added cost, but if it's a question of "WANT" rather than "need," then one
can always justify in buying a Leica.
