Conclusion of the New Camera saga: I finally chose the Leica D-Lux 4 (after weeks of searching around for a store in the US that actually had it in stock), and it’s here, and I love it, and this is the first real (real as in not of my feet or anything around the house) picture I’ve taken with it:
On Wednesday I had lunch with three friends from the linguistics department, all of whom make me very happy. It was a wet, rainy day, but it was wonderful to see them, and I’m happy I got a picture of us all before I had to run back to work.
Nice camera — I’m jealous. You’ll have to let me know how you find it.
Knowing you, you’ve done a ton of research and know everything about the camera. But in case you didn’t see this, there are some great D-Lux4 accessories here: http://www.kleptography.com/rf/#camera_dlux4.
I am EXTREMELY happy with the camera, yes – but I wish I had more time for it! There’s still so much I need to figure out about it. Even just using it in automatic mode, though, is a very, very pleasant experience.
Thanks for the link – I actually didn’t know about those. The grip looks awesome.
