Hello Everyone..
Right now I am using Leica Digilux 3 Digital Camera.
I love its Camera performance, as expected, is very good, with quick start up times, minimal shutter lag, and great shot to shot times. The one area in which shutter lag is much higher is when you’re using the Live View mode. The mirror starts locked up (so the image can be seen on the LCD) and when you take the shot, the mirror has to cycle twice – once to get exposure information and once to capture the image.
Handling. This is the controversial side of this camera, you’ll either love it or hate it so I highly recommend trying one out first. I would recommend using two hands almost always (especially if you have small hands). It's definitely thick and heavy which can be a problem, and even fatiguing, but didn’t stop me from enjoying it.
Flash performance is good at about 19ft in auto mode and the bounce flash is nice to have.Auto focus performance was good but at times could take a bit longer than I’d like.
Overall I am very impressed with this camera. The image quality is excellent and the camera works well. As far as lenses go this is by far the best in class (kit lenses) I also liked the ergonomics/styling of the camera for the most part. I like the retro controls, so much more fun than pushing buttons and navigating menus. So much more Leica, gives it a somewhat mechanical feel which I love.
