I’m not going to say anything that someone else hasn’t said already or written already about this camera. This is just my 2 cents. I have had mine almost 3 years to the day (from Amazon, at the time they were $599)
and it’s been everything I had hoped and much more. It is the best point and shoot I have ever had, and one of the best looking and well built. I have never had one problem with it and I have shot thousands upon thousands of photos with it, in all different settings.
I own a Nikon DSLR, and a couple Sony point and shoots, but I use the Leica most of the time. Very glad I bought it, and if your thinking about one of these, or the 4, I would not hesitate for a second.

As a Panasonic Lumix TZ3 owner I wanted the ability to manually focus and adjust aperture and that was my main reason for purchasing this camera.
I did not want to go the slr route because of the size and weight of those cameras. I put the heavy camera and the bag of lenses behind me 20 years ago. I wanted a very small and light point and shoot camera with the ability to make manual adjustments. Ironically this camera is lighter than the Lumix TZ3.
I also wanted a camera with an excellent lens.This camera choice wasn’t difficult (having owned other Leica’s, Nikons, Olympus, and CAnons) knowing first hand that the quality of the Leica lenses were a cut above the others.
Within 2 days of shooting with this camera I found myself using a few of the manual settings as if they were second nature,like the Auto exposure lock which I found to be a great feature. There was no frustration in attempting to take a shot that the camera wouldn’t adjust to.
Focusing manually isn’t that easy but it isn’t necessary to focus manually all the time… It is only needed at those times when the auto focus can’t focus on what you want it to focus on.
When working on the photos in Adobe Photoshop I was surprised to discover many shots did not require major adjustments or corrections. MY conclusion is the cameras operating software is top notch. Somehow the camera balances color, saturation and contrast, almost to perfection. I found myself making an adjustment and then re-adjusting back to the original over and over again.
Shooting with a wide angle lens is a must for me and this camera exceeded my emotional need for space…forground, sky, and the panoramic feel of the 16:9 ratio.
My only disappointment is that the mode dial isn’t color coded and can’t be easily seen without my glasses on like with the TZ3.
Having owned this camera for only a month I can say that so far I am very pleased with the results.
I get so tired of people whining about noise on small sensor cameras. “OMG, it is noisier than my 30D/D80/etc.” Hmm…what was your first clue? Perhaps that the same number of pixels are being stuffed on a sensor that is almost an order of magnitude smaller in surface area?!?!?
The MP race is stupid, but so are most consumers. I would have preferred that Leicasonic made this a 7MP camera with really high dynamic range and able to shoot high ISO. But they didn’t…because consumers want big MP numbers.
This camera is unique because it is native 16×9. That changes the way you frame and shoot. At least it has for me. This also gives you very good manual control over things. And being able to shoot RAW is a big deal to me. I got hooked on that with my D70. And speaking of that D70, I just sold it because I am happier with the images I’m getting out of my D-Lux 3. Yes, they can be noisier, but I also can fit the Leica in my pocket. The best camera is the one you’ll have with you to get the shot. This beast is a very good compromise between portability and performance. You can’t have it all. Where would you put it?
I’m not going to say anything that someone else hasn’t said already or written already about this camera. This is just my 2 cents. I have had mine almost 3 years to the day (from Amazon, at the time they were $599)
and it’s been everything I had hoped and much more. It is the best point and shoot I have ever had, and one of the best looking and well built. I have never had one problem with it and I have shot thousands upon thousands of photos with it, in all different settings.
I own a Nikon DSLR, and a couple Sony point and shoots, but I use the Leica most of the time. Very glad I bought it, and if your thinking about one of these, or the 4, I would not hesitate for a second.
