Good little camera, unfortunately mine had hot pixels on the CCD sensor and had to be sent back to Leica within the first week of ownership. Still waiting to get it back and hope the issue is resolved.

Leica has just announced a mouth-watering titanium-clad version of its D-Lux 5 compact camera. Will consumers be willing to pay approximately $1,200 for it?
Up-to-date features, meet classic old-school Leica design: the Leica D-LUX 5 Digital Camera is a compact 10.1MP digital camera with a very fast f/2-3.3 DC Vario-Summicron 24-90mm (35mm equivalent) lens that is Leica inside and out.
The D-LUX 5 delivers a range of features designed to give you brilliant image quality in a compact (4 1/3 x 2 2/3 x 1 5/7"), lightweight (9.5 oz) camera - with sensitivity up to 12800 ISO, a bright, high resolution 3" LCD display with 460,000 dots, a large 1/1.6.3" CCD sensor, O.I.S. image stabilization, program and manual exposure modes, free professional software (Adobe Lightroom) for processing RAW files (for the highest quality images possible) and dazzling 720p HD video.
It also has all the modern conveniences, like face detection and autofocus tracking metering modes, scene modes (Portrait, Scenery, Panorama Assist, Sports, Night Portrait, Food, Party, Candlelight, Sunset, Baby 1 and 2, Pet, Beach, Snow, Color modes--you know the drill), 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 and 1:1 formats, a built-in flash plus a hot-shoe for an optional Leica flash and a macro function that focuses down to 0.39" (1 cm).
