Thanks,
Sam Krneta

Go to:

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sidebyside.asp

Click on Leica Digilux 1, and control-click or Apple-click on Panasonic 
DMC-LC5.  A side-by-side comparison will come up.  Everything is exactly

the same except the body size and weight.

The Leica comes with Photoshop Elements and the Panasonic with ArcSoft 
PhotoImpressions.  Since I use Photoshop 7, that makes no difference to
me.
The Leica comes with a 64 MB Secure Digital card and the Panasonic comes

with a 32 MB secure digital card.  I had already ordered a 128 MB card
for 
each and a Digital Album to download the cards into, so that make no 
difference.
I do like the Leica black body over the Panasonic silver body.
I have ordered the Leica which should be in the first week in May and
I'll 
let you know if there are any differences.
The only reason I got a Panasonic first is that is was available first.
I 
have the Leica on order and will use both.  Since the maximum battery
time 
is about two hours, I imagine I will use one while the other is 
recharging.  I've also ordered extra batteries and chargers.  You can't 
duplicate electronics too many times!

Leically,

Tina
