For those who crave status symbols your new Leica is here

  Do not get me wrong, I love Leicas. I  had 4 M models at one time, and still have 3 that are not used much because they are the film models. But when one can get the same camera for less, in this case the Panasonic LX-7 that my son permanently borrowed which is a fantastic camera and for much less, I have to say that those seeking the one branded as a Leica are just in for the status. Both cameras are made by Panasonic and are almost identical. But nevertheless,  the new Leica D-Lux 6, Silver is here at a higher price so enjoy your status symbol.
