I've just read the LL review but have not seen Sean's review as I am banned from his site.

It seems clear that there is more work to do on the camera but I do not think it should be written off just yet. Add a zoom lens, sort out the dismal ergonomics, LCD, flash, slow focussing and I think it could have the makings of a much more interesting small Leica than the endless succession of cooking PanaLeicas we've got used to seeing. Think revised Digilux 2.

Better yet, provide the DP-1 with a Leica M mount and see what it can do. Leica DL anyone?
