Since I've bought and used one of each Digilux generation so far, IMHO, the first unit is rather pathetic . Image quality on that camera is disappointing for a camera of that pixel count, and the images always needed significant correction to make them reasonable to view and display. And talk about slow writing to the smartmedia card. You could cook and eat a lunch before the camera is ready for consecutive shots. I wonder the great resale value applies to the equivalent Fuji MX-700... John
