Don dorysrus@mindspring.com Leica allowed Panasonic to market the M7 in Japan as the P7, without a red dot, with the name "Panasonic" on it, for $300 less than the M7, with an identical warranty, is there really anyone stupid and status conscious enough to pass up the Panasonic for the Leica? :-) B.

I prefer the look of the Panasonic - I prefer black. Frank On Sunday, February 22, 2004, at 04:02 pm, B. D.
