Get D-Lux 4 now or wait for D-Lux 5?

... see if I should trade this Nikon in for a Leica D-Lux 5? ...

 

One more thing to consider, though: Yes, it's a Leica, but is it going to do what you want?

 

You chose a Nikon dSLR instead of one of their point-n-shoots. Think the same way here: Do you want a point-n-shoot, or a more sophisticated camera? There might be a better choice for you, maybe in the Micro FourThirds market, or a different Nikon.

 

 

In other words, I could ask if a D90 is a "real Nikon." But that question doesn't answer the real question, which is: Is it the right one for me?

 

I use my D-Lux 4 daily. I also have an M8, which gets a lot of use. And I've got a Nikon D200, which I seldom use. Just my preferences.

 

So, "is the D-Lux 5 a Leica?" Yes.

 

But, "should I trade in my Nikon for a D-Lux 5?" That depends a lot on you and what you want to do.

 

You've probably already thought of all that, but I just want to be sure. ;)

Update: in the end I decided to keep the D90 and I bought the D-Lux 5 in December.

I now carry the Leica everywhere and it's one very nice camera! The photo quality is superb for such a small camera - you can see some fine photography on flickr at the 'Leica d-lux 5 group'.

Cheers
