Is a Leica worth its price tag?
I got one for Christmas last year and love it with a couple reservations. In general the photos I have taken have been great, and I love the resolution, widescreen LCD, manual controls, and just the overall feel of the camera. It is definitely small, but I wouldn’t quite call it a pocket camera as the lens does stick out a bit when it is turned off. I have noticed that the flash tends to blow things out when used in Auto and Program modes. I could probably fix this by messing around in the manual settings, but I’ve been too lazy so far. Supposedly the Leica version of the camera has different image processing programming than the Panasonic version, but I can’t verify whether that is actually the case or not. I am having issues with Picasa right now, but I will post some links to photos later when I get a chance.
