It has become a second self - its operation is manually intuitive as  
on a good ol' camera :-)

and rightly do


a smaller sensor prevents you from enlarging too much, or from  
cropping too much - for the rest, only pixel peepers might tell I'm  
now sure.

it is mine and I use it :-)

More seriously and as stated above you can operate it instinctively,
it has live view for macro or tripod work,
can take any R mount lens I have on top of Pana or Oly glass,
offers bracketting, multi-exposure,
oh yes, the wonderful Elmarit OIS zoom with which 1/8 is no real  
problem handheld ... and much more

> and what do you like the least about it?
noise in poor light conditions (>ISO 400), dim/narrow OVF,
I can't think of any other 'major' flaw.
Maybe Pana's lack of perseverance in producing an updated L2 with a  
sensor of the type now found on their micro four thirds ?

In any case both the Digilux and the L1 have been (long) discontinued.

Feel free to ask any question

Thanks for viewing
