[Leica] DMR wins award

[langhans at compwrx.com (Aram Langhans)]

I have, and it is far superior to the D10 and digital Rebel that I have 
previously looked through
I also like the feel of the camera.  It has substance.  The anti-shake seems 
to work well.  I only shot 10-12 frames in the store, recorded them in my 
card and looked at them at home.  I  was impressed.  But at 6mp???  That 
seems to put it out of the main-stream for the price they are asking.  If I 
had Minolta glass it would be very tempting.  Image stabilization with old 
lenses.  I was looking for school as they want anothere digital and have 3-4 
Minolta lenses lying around gathering dust.  They all seem to work on the 
7D.
