So it is your problem. What specifically was it you pal liked about this Leica that he felt compelled to spend a stupid amount of extra $$$. That is his issue. When my wife wants a new refridgerater even though our current one is fine, I really don't care. It makes her happy. No reason to question a friend on how he spends his money. However, there is no harm in asking; "Why on Earth woul you have paid ± $700 for that Leica, when you could have got the same camera, with the same specifications in the Panasonic for $300 less?" 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 |
