This guy Luigi at www.leicatime.com makes unbelievable custom leather cases for the D-Lux and other nice cameras. If only his website were as pretty as the product.</p> Oh my gosh.

however having a camera that shoots RAW in my shirt pocket at all times is nice… plus it’s pretty easy on the eyes.

How does the Leica D-Lux 3 compare? I'm not super photo smart, but can learn... Sounds like the Leica may come with more manual options?</p> I had a Canon Elf for about 5 years that just broke down.

I've had significantly less motion blur and/or less grain since. Totally worth the upgrade! </p> <p>Recession special: if you don't mind the less stylish body design, you can buy the TWIN from Panasonic (Panasonic DMC-LX3, which sells for less than half if you research well). It's the same (!) hard- and software, except that Panasonic cameras have a default saturation setting that is one step more saturated than the Leica. Easy to fix.</p> I had the D-Lux 3 for over a year and was very happy with it … but i just got the D-Lux 4 and am officially in love: the new 1:2.0-2.8 lens adds a whole f-stop in brightness, which is a critical advantage if you want to shoot indoors, without flash, and out of your hand.

If I didn’t already own the 3, and if I could *afford* the new price hike, I’d seriously consider it too…
