And I think that is GBP ..

C hing, you pay for the RED DOT ...

$1300 US for the handgrip ..  ( ~ $1500 here at least )   

So .. dont complain $350 for a nikon/canon grip la..

Catpiano

Sadly .. there is no low tier Leica digital camera ..   

Unless you consider the M8.2 is the low tier ..  but say a ~ $10K combo on a M8.2 ..   still not perform near as good as a $5KNikon/Canon combo ..

Well .. again, "REAL" Leica users are not worrying about PERFORMANCE/PRICE.

I have few Leica DC ..  but I wont' call them LECIA ..  they are basically Panasonic + a $500 red dot ..  lol

Same as Mark Levinson in my stupid toyota 8 seater ..  it is just .. the LOGO ..   

Still, one day ..  I would like the get the "R" series ..  entry level Leica .. just to collect ..



So .. no matter this S2 or Red, or a Veyron ...  just our dream ...  ( Wait .. may be Mr. H has them all!! )

I don't see myself getting ANY "red dot" in the near future because of their price/performance is so bad.  I like photography, not collecting gears.

Why not both ??  LOL  

Leica .. more or less for COLLECT ....  

I cant afford to use $50K leica gear ..  but $1000 or $500 DC is ok la..  ^_^

When I was looking at the LX2 .. it was $550 cad, and the leica one is $800 .. so for $250 different ..  go for RED DOT ..  same as the C lux 3 .. $250 more then the panasonic version ...  

However, when I bought the LX3 ..  $550 vs $999 ...  $450 more ..  for the Red Dot ..  not worth it ... and it looks the same as the D lux 3 anyway .. so, I was so cheapy .. just bought the LX3 ..
