Leica D-Lux 2

Great camera ... disregard critics about noise--it just isn't processed out like it is on other cameras to the detriment of image quality. These images allow the photographer to control the processing. If no post processing is what you are looking for, this camera might not be for you. Same camera as Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 which is $200 less. Save yourself some money by buying Panasonic logo vice Leica.

Heavy buid quality, superb glass, unique aspect ratios, raw file format, anti-shake
