The 2/3-inch CCD sensor is very large for its resolution of 5 million pixels. This combination of a high-performance lens and a large surface per picture element produces an extraordinary pictorial quality. " They call it "The "analog" Digital camera" and that's what it looks like to me. Much better than what we even expected from previous peaks at the Panasonic. Should not have been unexpected as the DIGILUX 1 looks terrific as the Panasonic version of it is an eyesore. I think this is truly amazing! And will make up for the horrible wait for the R series back somewhat. It will be interesting to place bets on who wins the sales race. DIGILUX 2 or CM. The CM sure looks mouth watering. But it shoots FILM!!!!!:( Weird!! I'm undecided with camera LOOKS more cool. They've sure got their act together in the Looks department at Leica. But I think they're doing more than OK in the results area as well. I think these cameras will deliver and rock Leica. As soon as THEY are delivered. I'm going to go watch "Deliverance". Mark Rabiner Maybe instead of them coming out with a digital CM like I thought they'll come out with a Film version of the DIGILUX 2! :) As THAT's the one which is going to sell like hotcakes and feasibly alter how Leica is perceived in the market. The CM might sell like room temperature cakes. Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabinergroup.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
