  • Appeals to both the ambitious hobby photographer and the brand fetishist

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 8, 2003
    Pros: Feature-rich, full-auto-to-full-manual, flexibility, and bargain for the brand fetishist
    Cons: Bulk (but if you want compact, why would you buy it?), flimsy LCD cover

    Summary: I just got this camera 2 weeks ago, and while I have used it extensively during a vacation, no doubt ... read more

  • Great but QUIRKY Camera...Not for Everyone Though

    Pros: Natural Light Pictures, Macros, Build Quality, LCD, Focusing Speed & Accuracy, Cool Looks.
    Cons: Handling Artificial Light, Few Modes, Noise, No RAW, Backlighting Problems.

    Summary: I recently bought this camera used because of the magical Leica name even though this 4 MP Model is almost five years old. I’m thinking that 10 MP with one of the small sensors that comes with these new automatic cameras is a cruel marketing joke. ... read more

  • The one to come home to . . .

    Pros: Build quality, lens quality, ease of use.
    Cons: No information in optical viewfinder; only f/8 minimum.

    Summary: It might seem odd to be writing a review of a digital camera that is 3+ years old now. Technology has moved on, pixel concentration seems to double every 6 months . . . The Leica Digilux 1 uses a 4 megapixel sensor; these days even inexpensive compact ... read more

  • panasonic electronics need work.

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 26, 2004
    Pros: status and prestige of pushing Leica in everyone's face. 2.5" LCDscreen, mostly manual controls.
    Cons: huge, bulky, image noise obvious. inadequate manual focusing. no flash-sync port.

    Summary: Bought it because, of course, it's a Leica. So obviously expectations are EXTREMELY high, especially what you pay for a 4M digital camera. The great thing about it is the enormous LCD screen. It's super-clear. But things I expected in a Leica ... read more

  • Great at ISO 100! Best in its price class!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 15, 2003
    Pros: Great image quality, small shutter lag, easy manual use, beautiful design.
    Cons: the only major downside: ISO200 and 400. In ISO100 does a great job!

    Summary: Body has cool design and very easy to operate manually! It has switches instead of buttons for auto-manual-macro focus, on/ off, and changing mode. Very easy! Especially if you still love manual film camera's, this is what you should get. I shoot for ... read more

  • An easy way for a traditional photographer to go digital

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 5, 2003
    Pros: Easy to use, top quality photos, can be set for manual or auto photography
    Cons: Bulky and expensive.

    Summary: It took me a long time to decide to enter the digital photo age. I wanted a camera that would at least take photos of the same quality as my old Minox 35mm and possible approach the quality of my favorite 1949 Rolleiflex twin lens reflex. Its photos ... read more
