The Digilux (LC-5) hit the market before the 5050. I did a lot of reading about it on the Net, including detailed critical articles. I postponed buying it because of the critical points mentioned in the articles. When the 5050 arrived, I went through the same painstaking process. The 5050 won out in my mind because of its flexibility and larger capacity sensor. It is a nifty camera because of its design and optical viewfinder and universality. Sure, focusing the Digilux is somewhat easier in Manual; but it's still electronic. And I liked the hooded LCD. Methinks the Digilux II will be more like the 5050. But we're talking about details, not the nature of compact prosumers - -- which is fundamentally the same at this point in time. As for Karen's reservations about talking Olympus or Nikon or Canon on a Leica list, that's a healthy discussion because our dialog will inform Leica Solms about changes to their cameras that can improve their performance. I see nothing unethical or contradictory there. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
