I think it’s a nice travel camera that allows you to shoot manual with an exposure compensation dial readily available.
What I want to see is how it renders wide open at 1.7.
What’s not to like with a 17MP point and shoot that can go wide at roughly 24mm? Shoots RAW.. not that I need it in a p&s.
It’s almost a slam dunk in your case especially as you’ve used the D-lux extensively.
The only thing keeping me from getting one is that I’m considering getting a color M as well. Well, who knows.
I’m going to the boutique next week and will inquire.
It’s a good camera and been long tempted to get one after having tried the Typ109.
Oh, and another one that makes this a sorely tempting offer is that my girlfriend WANTS color and hates it when we travel and all i have is b&w
Best, Echi
