If so a cure for the ultra convenience of iPhone photoitus would be to wear a cute and more high functioning camera around you neck on a thin cord. Then hit the button and it goes to your iPhone where you can fire it off to your friends. I feel it in my bones that this kind of thing is happening. There are millions of small fun cameras but if it was me and I had money I'd get a Dlux. Less money a Clux. Both Leica with red dot but of course really Panasonic. Both gorgeous if you get them in black. Just use a Dulux for a half hour and not love it... -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography mark at rabinergroup.com > From: Christopher Saganich <chs2018 at med.cornell.edu> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Mon, 20 Sep 2010 15:43:06 -0400 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Good News!
