Palm--
Interesting question. The Digilux 2 is a lovely camera, but out of production. And it isn't that much smaller than your Rebel.

If you're waiting for the DMR price to come down, so am I! But I don't think that's going to happen before Leica comes out with a digital R10. (Only a guess, of course.)

Have you considered something really small like the D-Lux 3?

I have the D-Lux 2 and find that it offers a bit better detail than the Digilux 2 (8 MP instead of 5 MP), but that the Digilux 2 makes slightly better images with noticeably less noise because of its greater sensor size.

You're doing right to raise the question, but I think the digital market changes so quickly that instead of reaching a rational decision, one day you'll simply say, "Today's the day. I'm getting the XXX."

Gee, there are a lot of choices! Enjoy the search!
