Dick,

The images still look noisy. Perhaps it is just a feature of the 
Digilux, but these seem to have more noise at 400 than my Canon images 
do at 1600.

In general, I find that software like Noise Ninja that promises a free 
lunch usually does not deliver.

Speaking of the Digilux, it was the only Leica I saw while walking 
around the Jardin de Luxembourg in Paris last Sunday.
