there is no such thing as a "milk-providing, cackling feathered dog which gets the paper for you, recites byron whenever you wish and has a built in microwave with alarm" Everything has it's pro's and cons read any camera forum and you will find the contents of these pro's and con's..... excpet in Leica forums, for some reason to Leica users, Leica's are perfect... I wonder if they actually have photography in their minds when refering to the perfectness.... It is a very good camera I must and do agree on that. But paying a 4x multiple (at least) in order to be able to buy parts within the coming 20 years ... mmmm. And as noted people don't take their Leica's out to play for a scratch cost them $300 ... ! as for end results, and this is what counts in photography I find my Contax unbeatable, even if the lenses are slow(er)I even think my investement in Contax products are actually worth it.
G2 owners are photographers, they take pictures, they take their G2's on vacation,, they actually use what it is meant for... Photography, and it does it very very well. If "Oracle stock" had the same touch and feel as Leica, 50% of Leica owners would have Oracle stocks instead of Leica's, the fact that Oracle stocks don't take pictures will be of minor intrest..... I'me not putting (all) Leica owners down as "posers" but it does make one think.....
Photos are taken by the user of the camera, not the camera itself this is just the tool to do it with.
And don't ever forget Everything in the whole wide world has been photographed by now.... but not yet by everyone !
