Summary: Great Camera
Review: Takes awesome shots and the large LCD screen is really nice to have versus other digital cameras. Has many bells and whistles. Not complicated to work. The only drawback is that it's a bit bulky.

Summary: Just a Great Camera
Review: This is a camera that has everything a good camera should have in it and none of the junk alot of other digital camreas do have. It is quickly obvious that this camera was designed by leica, it is a nice size, intuitive, easy to hold and has a great lens. Most digital camras i found hard to hold or were so small and flimsy feeling you tought you might break them, this camera very much has the weight and feel of an older rangefinder camra which are some of the nicest camera to shoot with. The most used controls and settings are set with knobs, without having to go into the menus, alot of digitals most things are in the menus so u forget where they were or it takes time to get to them. And best of all this camera has a real focusing ring for manual focusing. The camera has a massive LCD screen on it which is bright and easy to see, it is 2.5 inches, much more than others 1.5, it has a hood u can put on it to protect it and keep the sun off on bright days. but this camera you dont really need the screen with most shooting functions on dials, and a great veiwfinder, and also a small lcd screen like is found on 35mm cameras that shows u all the current camera settings and more. This camera is everything people should be looking for in a camera, great feel to hold and use it, excellent lens and image quality, the absence of electroc junk (some camreas have 30 sooting modes and time zones for 62 cities around the world, if u need 30 shooting modes you will just use auto anyhow) and easy to use intuative contols with limited need for menus. I did alot of looking and this is one of the best camreas out the at almost any price, and why buy the leica at twice the price this is the exact same camera
