You don't get Adobe Lightroom 3 or the Leica warranty (2 year with 1 year accidental/faulty replacement) and the leica badge and look

- very useful. It can be set to zoom continuously or at set lengths which I prefer. The price paid was £599.99 from Jacobs Glasgow. If you find it too expensive you will get the same camera in the panasonic LX5

dennismv: well, tree is a very slight delay but nothing that bothers me with my photography. I have it set the zoom up to return to the last used setting i.e. 24mm and when I switch on the camera, it will automatically go to 24mm — very us full

how responsive is the zooming in and out? It seems like there is a slight lag between the time you press the zoom slider and when the lens actually moves.

Sorry, press send by mistakenbefore I had finished! Here's the rest of my comments... I've taken a few photographs at night and I am mightily impressed. I thought I would find this camera would be tricky to use due to not having a built in grip but so far it's not been a problem getting Lightroom 3 with it is a bonus too — try one, you'll not regret it

I have the D-Lux 5 and I am very impressed especially with night shots. I've taken a few photo

… the new grip is by far the best feature on LX5 … the grip accessory that is sold by Leica should have been built into the body design … imo …
