I like cats and dogs, both are furry and nice. I like to feed my cat and dogs treats, they like treats.

i own this camera, and it’s been a great camera thus far. i would recommend buying it if you want a high end compact system camera MIRABEL. the software is pretty good too.

I am deciding between the Pen and the D-Lux 4.
I am a casual shooter but want to learn more and be able to use more manual control as I learn. I don’t want a big DSLR because I just won’t carry it around. Could you tell me why you think the Pen is a better product.
Thanks

I am considering getting a leica and trying to justify the price tag on it, as opposed to the panasonic lx3.. u wrote that this has a 10x optical zoom but it appears that it is a 2.5x optical zoom on the website? just wanted to clarify. a 10x optical zoom would make it quite worth the $!

The is one big difference between these two cameras. 100 years of photography.

£100 is quite a bit more to spend on the Leica badge but the confidence it instills in the operator is priceless and in the end, £100 is a night out on the town for a lot of British people ;o)

The LX3 fits in the Leica leather case just fine, see pics of my LX3 in Leica leather case here- http://ianho.blogspot.com/2009/02/d-lux-4-case.html

My LX3 fits in the D-Lux4 leather case just fine. The grip on the LX3 slots right into the gap where the lens barrel goes in the leather case.

Yes, the LX3 also does 1280 x 720 video.

One difference is the DL4 does 1280 x 720 video in 16:9 whereas the LX3 does not, which could be of value to some folks

I’ve heard good things about the Olympus Pen as well, but I’m sticking with my LX3 for now. It’s a fantastic point and shoot.

The Leica also comes with software that’s worth about $100 more. So there is a slightly less of a price disparity than at first glance. But it really wouldn’t make any difference to us who use CS4.

Actually, the price disparity is not quite what you suggest.

The LX3 was meant to retail at 499 (B&H) for example, and not too long ago it was going for a mere 400 on some sites, including Amazon.

The something happened, and they disappeared. Could this be a Panasonic Leica stitch-up… I guess Leica was fed up with being a laughing stock for selling the same camera at a ridiculously higher original price tag.

Anyhow, whatever it is, the new kid on the bloc looks to be the Olympus Pen, and while pricey, it is clearly muscling in on Leica territory here with an ostensibly much better product.
