He will not starve. So what? It is a pretentious buy. If he had bought a pure Leica such as the "X Vario", or even spring for an "M", I would be less critical. Since he obviously has the financial resources to do so. http://us.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-X/Leica-X-Vario http://us.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-M/Leica-M-E I don't know whether I would make that choice. My bank balance and my pension have already made that choice for me. Gadget envy not withstanding, I await a lottery win. BTW I think the Panasonic is a fine camera. It remains identical in specification and function to the Leica, ...or is it the other way around? Not quite identical, if android is correct when he reported "The Leica produces RWL raw and the cheapoo Pana RW2!!!" The firmware is different in some way, even if only to produce different raw file names. What else is different? Enquiring minds want to know. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Those are HF (half frame) cameras... the d3300 has fewer features than a d5300 which has fewer features than a d7100, all of which are crop sensor cameras. one of the features that they all don't have over the d610 is a full frame sensor. Nope! They are half frame... Actually the D610 is FF. --- Off course. I thought you were referring to the Dxx00's. Those are half frame, Canon x0D and xx0D and M are half frame too. Olympus and Panasonic are quarter frame... I'm not sure of what the Nikon One is but Mini. ;-p I tested one. IMHO it is a POS. It most certainly must be most limited compered to what you usually use. OTOH, surely it can be useful if you are aware of it's limitations. I still like my Ixuses... ;-) One of my frinds go the Leica Dlux and really likes it. That's a PanaLeica right? The Panasonic variant is usually a few cent's cheaper... If someones interested. I doubt it http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1036245-REG/leica_18134_d_lux_6_edition_100.html http://us.leica-camera.com/Photography/Compact-Cameras/Leica-D-Lux-6 That's the same camera as the Panasonic DHC-LX7 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...al_Camera.html Nope. There are a lot of similarities, but they are two different cameras. http://snapsort.com/compare/Leica-D-Lux-6-vs-Panasonic-Lumix-DMC-LX7 Read the specs and state which spec is different in each. You are paying a hefty price for a little red nameplate. They are only superficially different cameras due to physical appearance. Under the skin they are identical. The biggest difference is the $398 list price difference for essentially the same performance. http://www.dpreview.com/products/compare/side-by-side?products=leica_dlux6&products=panasonic_dmclx 7 or http://tinyurl.com/n5bfjwy Yes, superficially different. The only real differences are the red dot and, as Android pointed out, different firmware yielding a different RAW format. More importantly, I was going to text you this evening. We had dinner at the Cooperage Inn, and were thinking of Snowflake. My wife is not allowed sugar or anything dairy, and I really didn't need it. We had a cute young waitress. I asked for a female lobster and she made the mistake of asking how you tell the difference. I told her she was old enough to know the difference between a male and a female. Wow! did she ever blush. My wife and I like the Cooperage Inn, it's a nice place. And I do like lobster, it's the only seafood I eat. Topping it off with a visit to Snowflakes makes for a great night. |

But, as I said before Snowflake omes in third behind McNulty's and Magic Fountain. Bsck to photography, there is still two osprey in the nest just before East Marion, on the South side of the road, across from the DEC boat ramp. -- PeterN |

Right before you get to the nest, there is a side road on your right. Years ago, I took a turn down there one day and found a huge snapping turtle in the middle of the road http://www.pete-the-greek.com/Animal...IMG06058-L.jpg http://www.pete-the-greek.com/Animal...IMG06051-L.jpg The next time you're at the Tanger Mall, stop into the Movado store and ask for Judah, that's my younger son. He works there, he's finishing up at Suny Stony Brook and still waiting to be called into the NYPD. |

The next time you're at the Tanger Mall, stop into the Movado store and ask for Judah, that's my younger son. He works there, he's finishing up at Suny Stony Brook and still waiting to be called into the NYPD. I stay away from that store. My wife has enough Movado watches and I have two Movados, plus two cheap titanium Skagens. I can only wear watches that have either surgical steel, or titanium bands. I don't know about you, but I would rather have a new lens than another watch. I am waiting to see if the Tamron 150-600 lives up to its hype. -- PeterN |
