I should've opted for an LC1 in black ... An M7 in black is less likely to make a subject think you're nothing more than some kind of amateur happy snapper because it's black. But with the Digilux 2 it's just "big and shining" and distracting. Maybe it's some of my own awareenss that comes to play also. I must admit maybe it's my years of black bodied M's in front of my face making me more aware of the digi 2's size and silver glow. No change is going to happen until I see what the Epson digi looks like, and more importantly, feels before a change is made. It'll be learning to live with the shine and size for now. ted
