It's viewfinder is nothing to write home about, but beyond that, I have no complaints. Of course it's nowhere near as 'cool' as the Digi2. But frankly, it doesn't surprise me at all that it came out even with, or slightly ahead of the digi2. That is, essentially, the point I've been trying to make since the Digi2 was announced- Hey, gang, it's an $1800! friggin point and shoot, with a essentially the same tiny sensor the $500-700 point and shoots have. But hey, it looks like a Leica - so it must be worth 3x what similar cameras cost. ;-) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Eric Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 6:25 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] Re: Digilux 2 short hands-on test Daniel: >FOTO (a German magazine) compared the Panasonic DMC-LC1 (Digilux 2) to >the Olympus C-5060 (Olympus came out every so slightly on top I bought my wife the C-5060 for Christmas. She loves it. I'm impressed for a point & shoot digital. Lots of nice features. It was $600. That doesn't bode well for either Panasonic or Leica if the $600 camera comes out slightly ahead over something 2-3x its price.
