Leica D-Lux 3 (black)

By (cnet.com)

Great lens ; nice design ; lots of manual controls

Generally soft photos ; mediocre movies ; no optical viewfinder ; expensive

A good choice for an enthusiast looking for a powerful camera that can fit into a jacket pocket; however, the Leica D-Lux 3 has a price only a Leica aficionado could love.

Leica C-Lux 3

By Cliff Kuang (wired.com)

For the past few years Leica has been wading into the point-and-shoot mass-market, where competition is vicious and where the company demands a pricey premium owing to its unparalleled brand. Is the good-looking, tiny C-Lux 3 worth it? Probably not: ...

Sharp, accurate colors. Great white balance. Excellent pictures in bright light. Dead-simple interface and controls. Three aspect ratios (4:3, 3:2, and 16:9). 3-year warranty.

Pricey as hell. No panoramic mode. Limited manual mode only allows exposure control. Decent but not great shots in low light (Our Canon G10 does it better). Did we mention price?
