Panasonic Leica LC1

Hi Group,

I was shown the Panasonic/Leica LC1 camera today by Jessops (as is often the
case they didn't know much about it ... to the point of insisting it didn't
have auto-focus !). It seemed nice and simple... just the ghastly EFV to put
up with ! Price came down to £769 (rrp £999) as it was a display model, but
I saw you can get it from Hong-Kong on eBay for around £540.

Any opinions on this camera or how to buy it appreciated,
thx,
Roland Herrera

Very nice camera in many respects. But not a "SLR system" camera. Try:

Cheers,
