This fabulous camera replaced my Contax T3, a fine film P&S in its own right. The images from the D-Lux 4 are simply astounding. I do not hesitate to take it right up to ISO 1600, especially when shooting B&W. I agree with another reviewer: there is little need to shoot raw with this camera.


Problems:

These are all niggles and not really problems...

If you are a serious shooter, this is a two or three battery camera--don't go out for a full day with only one battery. Retro lens cap (snap on) is annoying, but works fine. No hot shoe cover, but you can get one cheap (like from one of your other cameras). Doesn't hold self-timer settings between shots. Rebate is slow to arrive, but that won't affect current buyers.

The English manual is a bit of a laugher.
