Hi Leicalings! We have had the DLUX5 for a very long time, and DLUX4 before. Both amazingly good cameras. Shooting pictures is a breeze, the raw is rich and we have sorted out a good workflow. We have a small problem: we have started shooting videos in AVCHD. Technically and qualitatively, the results are good. On the other hand, we cannot make sense of the way the camera archives the videos on the card, and apparently the numbering resets when you change or format the card which is a problem for people who use archiving software, like us. Anyone who can explain exactly: 1) how does the archiving system work? why so complicated and structured? 2) is there a way to have sequential PROGRESSIVE numbering for the videos? 3) how do you archive? what workflow do you use? Regards

Hi there I have a DL5 with leather case - all good! but have purchased a EVF with its seperate leather pouch which does not have any facility for attaching to the case or strap. Would like to have the camera with EVF attached around my neck (no case) and wonder if there's a Leica (or other) solution. have looked at spectacle neckstraps but clasps are not strong. any help appreciated thanks

Hi Everybody, I need your help for me to decide which Leica camera is better, is it the DLUX 5 or VLUX 30. I was a nikon D90 user and thinking of replacing it with a compact camera. I am not so familiar so I hope you guys can enlighten me before I buy a replacement. Thanks a lot:)

hi all, I am brazilian and work with systems security. This is my first post in the forum, so be sure I have read carefully many many topics before feel confident to open a new thread. Found this forum researching about GF1, throug Steve Huff site and reviews - which I consider amazing, thanks a lot for them. I never had a good camera but always has been fascinated about photos. I like paintings too and as I cant even draw a house or a car, take photos makes me feel like an artist doing a painting, and even my iphone pictures makes me feel like this haha. This year in march I could buy for myself a panny GF1 + 20 and 45/200 lens kit w/ tripod at Singapore. Since then I am "painting" a lot haha and I am really satisfied about the camera performance, but Im still learning as you can see at my Picasa. Since I reach this forum and read many things, I am considering a pocket light camera which I dont have to carry a bag with gears everyday. So, why dont buy a Leica? and Im sure this is the best place I could ask advice for it. My doubt is, as Im satisfied with GF1 (and want to buy more lenses like the leica 45 for macros and keep using it), for a pocket Leica camera should I go for DLux-5 or the X1? and, if DLux 5, what about the panny clone lx5? I want a light camera, and want macro pics too, but the GF1 with Leica lenses will do the trick like charm, Im sure. I also read this: Compare the Leica D-LUX 5 vs Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 - Snapsort , is it true the Leica is more than 70% smaller and thinner? and there, it says they are heavy too. I want to buy a light one to really carry everyday. And when I feel like "today Im going to take pictures", I can take the GF1 for a ride I acknowledge the X1 have a legion of followers here.. but friends please keep in mind I want a small one, and also have a good camera for my skills (indeed I understand the X1 shots are the best), I read a lot here, and you guys understand so much that is hard for a novice/newbie like me to assimilate everything and decide alone haha, thats why I am asking advice in this posting. I am packing to a Singapore/Bangkok/India trip on February (maybe sooner), and will get the new toys at 1st stop in Singapore. sorry for typo mistakes, and thanks a lot for your time reading this, the forum is awesome! I hope I dont get the Leica disease, ending 2011 with a M9 haha. Also still in time, merry xmas cheers Marco

Hi Would anyone recommend what is the "sweet spot" aperture of the VARIO-SUMMICRON 5.1 - 19.2mm f/2 - 3.3 lens? Seems Dlux 4 sharpest aperture was f/4.5 but on Dlux5, I've tried f/4.5 - f/5.6 without noticing subtle differences. What have folks found? best
