along with the m8, this is probably the finest way to take digital images with the best leica glass. the images i've seen produced by the DMR are heads and shoulders better than those from the panasonic-produced leica cameras.

Only three things wrong with it :—

1 — Price
2 — Price
3 — They don't make it any more — probably because of 1 & 2. 8)

The Panasonic TZ3 has an excellent Leica lens. The only problem is getting a good one. I had to return 2 for focusing problems. the third worked great for 2 months and now I have my 4th which, so far, is wonderful. I also have an M8 so I can judge. At times the TZ3 seem about equal in sharpness and clarily.
