Over the past couple of weeks i have seen a few posts, i think by
the same poster quoting bad reviews of the Leica Digilux 1, so i
thought i would post the following :
The Leica Digilux 1 has just been reviewed by Amateur Photographer
magazine in the U.K. Web site : www.amateurphotographer.com .
The verdict of the magazine : is
Specification 26/30
Build 19/20
Handling 18/20
Performance 28/30
"Because of the lack of gimmicks or gadgets the camera allows you to focus
on the important aspect of photography - the pictures.
The tester has a few issues on the handling, such as lack of viewfinder info
but then says very few, if any non-interchangeable lens digital cameras have
this feature.
He thinks that Leica have achieved their aim in producing a camera worthy of
its name and that the Leica Digilux 1 is definitely a winner."
The camera also gets high praise for it's handling of high contrast scenes
and it's handling of shadow detail.
Also it's quote " outstanding colour" reproduction.
