A Real Photographer's Tool
The V-lux does many things right, and the disadvantages are minor.After spending an hour with the camera in my living room this evening, I am very impressed with how well it is designed for convenient use. Although the camera manual is over 100 pages long, I only had to check it two times to access all of the needed photographic controls. The lens zoom is controlled by a smoothly rotating mechanical ring, just like an SLR zoom lens. Autofocus, macro focus, and manual focus are switched with an easily accessible switch on lens barrel. There's also a focus button right below that switch to engage the autofocus even when in manual mode. This is terrifically useful.All of the common settings are quickly accessible through the function button, and no matter what you're doing with settings or picture review, partially pressing the shutter release returns instantly to shooting mode. Again, it's very well thought out as a photographer's tool.The image...

Quite Possibly The Best Digital "Bridge" Camera Currently Available
If you are seeking the finest in optical quality for a multiple purpose, noninterchangeable lens digital camera - what is commonly known as a "bridge camera" for combining some of the best features of digital SLRs with digital compacts - then look no further than the Leica V-Lux 1. True you are paying more by acquiring this version over its cheaper Panasonic sibling, but the advantages are obtaining a far more generous camera warranty and additional software improvements made by Leica. I've handled this camera several times at camera stores and digital imaging trade shows, and each time I have been quite impressed with how well it handles. Indeed, anyone who has handled a film or digital SLR camera before will be pleased with the relative ease in which one can use the Leica V-Lux 1, without having to refer frequently to its lengthy camera instruction manual. I am especially impressed with the optical image stabilizer (MEGA O. I. S.), which has allowed me to take photos hand held at...

The Leica I've been waiting for!
First off, no I haven't used the Panasonic DMC-FZ50 and with a Leica lens it may be as good as the V-LUX 1 but it'll never be a Leica and it's not a Panasonic I've wanted my whole life!I just got the V-LUX 1 for Christmas and haven't truly given it a good thorough shakedown, but I experimented quite a bit on Tuesday and my first impression is a good one - all bias aside, really.The V-LUX 1 behaves like my old 35mm SLRs, fully automatic to fully manual and it does what I tell it to. My cheaper digitals often delay before taking a picture, causing me to miss many action shots, both at sporting events and with my kids at play. I'm constantly deleting pictures of empty fields and playgrounds, where the action once was but is no more. My cheap digitals sometimes even refuse to take pictures they "determine" won't come out, the Leica takes the picture and let's me decide, just like my trusty old 35 mm SLR (I will miss it so). The V-LUX 1 feels like my old SLRs,...
