davidwiz Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Don't have a digital camera. Well, actually I have a pos Kodak Easyshare camera that I got a gazillion years ago. Did I mention that it is a pos? Anyway, looking to get a point-and-shoot, not really a SLR. I've been thinking about the Leica C-Lux or D-Lux. Though the Leica V-Lux-1 10 SLR looks pretty good and not too pricey. TIA, -David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I shoot a Canon D20...but Leica is on my list...with a Wilson Combat CQB, etc. Save enough in your budget to get a copy of Photoshop or Photoshop Elements...no need for a lab anymore. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz-0 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 The panasonic DMC-LX2K is the same thing as the d-lux only cheaper. It wouldn't surprize me if the smaller c-lux was just a panasonic in disguise since the d-lux was a collaborative effort with leica doing most of the heavy lifting from the design end. The panasonic DMC-FX33T looks suspiciously similar but is newer and 8.1MP The older FX30K might be the sibling camera. the panasonics are nice P&S cameras, if they had shutter and aperture priority modes, they'd likely be my backup to my K10D when I don't want to haul lots of gear around.

austinkroe Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Leicas are for film. I do own a Leica or two but if I want a digital I will go elsewhere. Canon seems to be the 800lbs gorilla when it comes to digital. Look at the Powershot G9. The leicas are quality but I think your money would be better spent elsewhere. I have a Olympus Stylus 770 SW that I really like. It is even waterproof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I strongly recommend a Canon P&S over anything else. My $200 Canon buries any other P&S I've had at any price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidwiz Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Thanks for the replies. What model Canon P&S? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Any of them will be good. Mine is the size and format of a deck of cards. It works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
