It has to be compared with the top-end Nikons and Canons. -- Cheers, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: Shel Belinkoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 07 August 2005 15:41 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Enough Already! > > This line in the article really makes me laugh: "This is > really a big deal since Leica photogs are legendary for > preferring small cameras."
