On your last question: too little, too late. Others are already over 2 
millions of pixels, the Leica only has 1.5 million. If you want the 
"best" of what's currently available in this price range, get the Nikon 
Coolpix 950.

Don't be mistaken Beth. The Leica Digilux Zoom is nothing more than a 
rebadged Fuji MX 2700. You may be easier off buying one of these if you 
want to touch it first !

Kind regards,

Pascal
