Subject: [Leica] Re: Drugged red dot

I don't know what drug Leica puts in those little red dots but it is 
wonderfully powerful.  

A couple of days ago I decided to find out what all this digital photography 
stuff was all about. My local photo outlet store was featuring a "digital 
day" where all electronic camera equipment would be reduced 15%. There on the 
shelf was a beautiful Fuji MX1700 camera and right next to it was an equally 
beautiful Leica Digilux Zoom costing $75 more. I know intellectually that 
both cameras are identical except for a few cosmetic differences. Still the 
Leica had that hypnotic red dot. I spent most of my trip home trying to 
rationalize my decision - and concocting a good justification story for my 
wife. 

In my heart of hearts I know that I am an addict. Stop me before I buy again
