Let me suggest the Panasonic LX-5. Plenty small enough to carry in a handlebar bag, smaller and cheaper than the Leica or Fuji, zoom lens that gives you equivalent focal lengths 24-90mm, plenty of manual control and a lot more than a "toy". Excellent image quality for a small sensor camera, too. Take a look at the photos I've been taking with it, most on bike rides: http://www.flickr.com/photos/97916047@N00/sets/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
