DPREVIEW says the Olympus EP-1 is up against the Panasonic Lumix lx3 or
Leica D lux 4. Which is the same basic camera.
And show them side by side.

I agree.
And have found the Dlux system to be an elegant photographic solution.
Or suspension.

I love the Leica D Lux line of cameras.
Despite smallish sensor sizes.

We need an M LUX


Erwin coincidently has addressed these basic rangefinder issues in its full
context in his latest blurb.

Is there a future for the CRF concept? (May 4, 2009)
Reflections on the future of the Manual focus coupled Rangefinder camera.

CRF means coupled rangefinder cameras
Like an M8


But you probably know CRF as
Controlled-Release Fertilizers

Though in certain neighborhoods you'll of course know it as
Chattahoochee Riverside Flyers

But if you're a movie nut like me its:
Cutting Room Floor
