"Classic Leica - not the most features, not the most pixels, but the end-product is above all others" on by TKim
Pros: Fast shutter response; Big bright lens captures details beyond its megapixel rating; analog controls make shooting like film; feels like an SLR
Cons: low light focus not as good as you'd expect; everyone will know you have a camera out; flash could be more powerful
Summary: This is a classic Leica - especially for the price, you can definitely find other cameras with more features, more megapixels, more powerful flash, etc... but oh that lens (which is developed with Panasonic), and those controls, and the photos are just magnificent. Fast shutter response enables capture of the critical moment. I would say this camera gives more satisfaction to the photographer for the act of taking photos than any other camera. The only camera I would trade this one for is the digital M series, which is supposed to come out in '07.
