I bought this camera to supplement my Canon Eos 5d SLR. This camera is extremely well made. The controls are intuitive. I really did not need to read the manual. It handles much better than my Canon G9 which I sold on Ebay. The ability to add an external flash and viewfinder also add to the utility of this camera. This is fairly expensive for a camera without interchangeable lenses, etc. It is much smaller than the Canon G11, which is cheaper. There is now way to add any filters, since there is no threading for this on the lens. I confirmed this with Leica today. I normally put a filter on an expensive lens right away. This camera can shoot in RAW, so you can use it with Photoshop. I think it is worth the price. One other consideration for those looking for a fine camera that is small would be the Panasonic GF1 or the soon to be released Olympus EP2. These take interchangeable lenses, including some made by Leica. These cameras are larger though and cannot go into a coat pocket. The auto focus on this camera is also fast and for a point and shoot that is not a DSLR, there was very little shutter delay.Get more detail about Leica D-Lux 4 Digital Camera (Black).
