Look in the Other Digicams forum. Some interesting things to be gleaned: 1. The cameras are not internally identical. He would not give specifics, except that the compression algorithm is one of the significant differences. 2. He had recommended that the 400 speed be dropped. 3. The camera was designed for prints, not screen images. 4. Higher capacity SD cards are soon to be released. It is also interesting that he has drawn the sort of attacks usually associated with Leica-phobes who don't own a Leica. Bet he didn't expect that! Also, my nascent web site is up, with some shots using the Digilux, and also some Noctilux and infrared images from Hawaii. I still have to work on internal links. www.robertrose.net Regards to all, Bob Rose - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
