Hi fellow forumers.
I have searched extensively and can't find a thread on this.
Can anyone give me their views on the Leica D-Lux 5.
I would love to afford the M9 or M8 or any other high end Leica for that matter, but unfortunately I don't have the deep pockets of a sheik nor for what I intend to use the camera for.
I am a professional athlete and train often at early hours or sunset, I often see an image as I am riding along and wish I had my SLR with me, these are too damn big to carry.
The D-Lux 5 looks like a suitable option with a good lens and also capable of excellent DOF.
The Panasonic LX 5 is essentially the same camera, but I believe that Leica use a different firmware.
Now Cliff, seeing that you have infected me with your passion as well as other great members here, I would appreciate any and all advice where possible.
The bottom line, will it be worth having it as a compact, when I expect SLR quality ?
Thanks in advance.
