CNET have also recently reviewed the Leica D-Lux, a 3.2-megapixel digital camera that has a whopping $800 price-tag! Find out why you should spend your money on this camera, rather than on something like the Canon EOS 300D, in CNET’s review…

“A few years ago, Panasonic and Leica entered into a partnership to build digital cameras. Leica brought the lenses, and Panasonic supplied the electronics. Among the fruits of the deal are Panasonic’s DMC-F1, which got a positive write-up from this reviewer, and Leica’s D-Lux. Cosmetically, the Leica looks different from the Panasonic—it has an old-school design intended to be “reminiscent of the classic Leica rangefinder camera”—but its performance and image quality are very similar. This leads us to ask: Are the superior body, the clout of the Leica brand, and a deluxe accessory package worth a nearly $500 markup? Answer: Only if you’re someone who doesn’t mind overpaying at Tiffany.”
