I recently bought a D-lux 2 Leica camera and love it! Takes a bit of getting use to the settings, even with me using an SLR on a regular day to day basis. Great to have in your pocket at all time!
I'd always heard that Leica cameras were the best in the world however it is only since having this one that I realize just how true it is. It absolutely knocks the spots off all the other cameras I've owned (Sony, Panasonic, Canon to name a few). Words can't justify the brilliance but you can find all you need to know about this camera on the Shutterbug site. Aesthetically speaking, it is quite a dull looking camera but in a way I prefer that coz it doesn't attract the attention of wannabe muggers etc. It is simply phenomenol as far as cameras go and it performs way better than some of the Nikons and Canons on the market. Believe the hype.....it is aces!!!!
