Possibly my next camera
My current camera is a Panasonic Lumix (FX-36). It was the Leica lens that attracted my attention, and the feature set that prompted the purchase. The build quality and battery life are both impressive. I know it’s sacrilege, but I prefer compacts to SLRs, mostly because of the adage “the best camera to use is the one you’ve got”. I carry my Lumix almost everywhere, so it’s always “the camera I’ve got”. While I love using SLRs (and have been tempted to make the purchase), the sheer size and bulk of an SLR means I can’t take it everywhere. This Lumix, a step or two above the one I currently have, looks sensational. The HD video feature is also a winner.
