Subject: Re: [Leica] Is it a bargain: Digilux 1 v. Panasonic clone

As a Digilux 1 user, I can definitely say that I shoot a lot of images NOT in bright sunlight. The f:2 lens and total lack of vibration allows very good results at slow shutter speeds. And I regularly print at sizes greater than 4x6, right up to 13x19.

The higher ASA noise is a real issue.
