LOL

Its a pretty camera, but the controls are pretty differently placed on the G7 - and the shape is a good bit different.

At least that is how I see it.

Apart from the box shape (as opposed to smooth curves found in many new cameras) those two designs are quite different. I you only consider the shape, then there are quite a lot of G7 look-a-likes out there…I think Leica M8 is more closer than Digilux 1.

Yeah, well they're both kind of retro-looking, only the this Leica not so much. The new Leica M8 on the other hand... I'd say it succeeds with it's retroness even more than the G7.

They look like cameras. The old style was quite useful and it would be nice to get cameras to look like cameras again instead of boxes qith buttons.

I completely agree. There seem to be conceptual similarities between two. Good find. I liked the focus selection & MF ring on digilux. G7 could offer that.
