Hi Tom!

Welcome to the zoo!

You'll find us a genial, polite group, with a lot of expertise to 
share.  You need only ask!

The PanaLeica's  (Philippe's L1 Lumix and the Digilux-3) are based on 
the Oly models, but with Panasonic electronics.  Leica go one step 
further, installing their own firmware in the Digilux 3.  I believe 
their user interface is a wee bit simpler, but it's minor, and they 
claim better colours, but I've not seen anybody do a direct comparison.

Both will take Leica's coming R to 4/3rds adapter, although there are 
any number of less expensive adapters, for this, already on the 
market.  Others, here, can give you names and sources.  Howard?

Anyway.. it's good to see "another smiling face" on the list!

Best,

David (One of the Zookeepers) Young.
