I smashed my Camera just before Xmas and the very nice chap at my Insurance is replacing it, with just a little cash I can have the latest Leica, so the new D-LUX 3 is mine all mine..... This new camera (based on the Panasonic LX-2) has a 10M megapixel 16:9 ratio CCD, Leica 4x wide angle optical zoom lens (28 to 112 mm equiv.) with optical image stabilization and a 2.8" 16:9 ratio LCD monitor. (While this camera is based on the LX-2 it has had image processing adjustments as defined by Leica).
So in English it looks really good and makes it a bit easier to snap
