[Leica] Dlux2

[csemetko at earthlink.net (Craig Semetko)]

Hello All,

I'm interested in the Dlux2/LXI as it is small and has manual ability. 
Are there any pro shooters out there using it and, if so, what are your 
impressions? Is it viable for fast shooting in the street? As in, set 
it at 28mm, set a hyperfocal distance, and fire away? If you take a 
shot like under those, does it remember the settings or switch back to 
auto? I'm not asking what the depth of field is, I'm just asking if 
it's relatively simple to set the camera manually, have an idea of your 
hyperfocal distance, and leave it that way for a long period of time 
without having to restart the camera or reset the controls.

Thanks,

Craig
