older Leica Digilux 1, $200, only 4.0mp, but I won't be blowing anything up past 8x10 and would be a good temporary (few years) camera

I had this one in Lumix form (exact same Lens, engine, etc. the only difference is some customizations on the software to give the Leica "touch"), anyway... Great camera body, incredible lens, amazing textures of rough surfaces like pavement, sand, etc.. But it's not worth it because everything else is mediocre. And the software is not upgradable. There are much better cameras for that money, this was the 1st or 2nd attempt when of a digital camera when Leica and Panasonic partnered..
I actually tested it vs. S80 and this camera failed misserably.
I would not buy the camera, when it died I was happy as I had a real excuse to buy another one..
