PJQ,
Stop obfuscating like a politician! Stick to answering the question!
I want to compare a $10,000 PLUS camera with the new Leica
lensed Panasonic DSLR. Don't bring up red herrings such as
Canon or Olympus hybrids. Stick to the subject, or do not answer
at all. In other words, do not be like a politician.
