The sharpness seems to be spot on. How does the image hold up at its maximum size? I've used a Leica M2 for years and have been spoiled with the quality of the lenses. I seldom print beyond 16x20 and more often than not 11x14, or 8x10. How does the V-Lux1 hold up in the real world? I'm not thrilled with the size of the system, but I'm not in a position to buy an M8. I travel by motorcycle often and prefer a smaller camera. To date I've been using a D-Lux2, but would really like to have a viewfinder. Sunlight is a bear with the LCD based viewing system. I may end up having to replace my D-Lux2 with the D-lux3 just to keep the size down. Any thoughts on the V-Lux1 image quality? How much in camera software manipulation is performed by the camera automatically?
