RE: A chance encounter with the digilux 2

Hmmm, I played with one for about a minute at the local Sammy's camera and
really didn't have a chance to come to any conclusions about it but one. It
did not seem plasticky or flimsy by any means, in fact it had a very nice
fit and finish at first feel at least.

Subject: Re: A chance encounter with the digilux 2


Yesterday I went with some Leica-mates to do street photography at the big
Carnaval parade and festival in San Francisco's Mission district. I
discovered that the stranger on my left in the crowd was shooting with a
Digilux 2. Although he was a French tourist we were able to exchange the
usual pleasantries about the other's good taste in brand of camera. Curious
to try the Digilux, I offered him a chance to make a few pics with my M3/
90mm TE. He passed the solid state wonder to me. I found it difficult to
maintain my friendly composure and nearly was unable to resist a cry of
merde! The Digilux seemed like a cheap plastic toy compared to the heft of
the M3. The electronic viewfinder was a cruel joke. A toy telescope would
run circles around that grainy little window. I can't believe the Digilux
has been widely praised by M owners. The only  digital camera I have used is
the Canon 300D. IMO, a much more serious camera than that silly digi.
