You are right Asher. Profit justifies everything.
I always associate luxury items with good taste. Here it is not the case.
If I would have - ever - received one of these cameras I would range it deep in the cupboard so no one would see it.
I would take it out to show to my boss.
I would be embarrassed to old such a thing in public.
I note that the blurb mentions the "red, white and blue" colors, but if one is going to draw the connection with the French flag, it would have been better to mention the "blue, white, and red" colors (bleu, blanc, et rouge, n'est-ce pas?).
Exactly, Antonio! If I owned a clean ordinary Leica body, I'd cover up the red dot! I do not like to advertise what I have. That's the advantage of the Ricoh GR, no one thinks it's significant.<snip>
Yes: bleu, blanc, rouge.
And since I am at it:
Interested readers may also check the flags of Russia or The Netherlands and the Pan-Slavic colours.
Leica and Hasselblad have infamously introduced similar cameras before. These fashion cameras aren't bought by photographers, they are bought by rich people wanting to make a statement and impress others.
Hmmm..Not necessarily...
Can 2 colors be repeated?
In the light of such brilliant mathematics, I was wondering how many possibilities there are for 2 items (let's call them x an y) can be arranged in a group of 3 in which no item is repeated.
As to your answer to a 'teacher's' question as to the number of ways 2 objects can be arranged in a group of 3....being zero ( of course ' zero ' long predates either of us and has somehow managed to survive thus far )...I would say there is an ' x and y ' and a ' z '. The ' z ' being a joker.
Doug, I always remove the joker/s from the pack. 54 in a pack is confusing, to me.
Doug, the Panasonics and/or Panasonic rebranded Leicas are excellent machines.
I would advise anyone to buy the equivalent Panasonic rather than the Leica. Except that the latest D-Lux Type 109 appears to be having more issues than the previous incarnations. I would opt for the Panasonic. The price difference this time is pretty sane and Leica does include a free copy of LR.
I have no experience with either of the machines that you have, so cannot comment performance wise.

As a side note:
One of my friends from the small group of photography I am in, told me that the LR offered with a camera is not the complete version, but only the basics commands...
I've never heard about an incomplete version of LR. Are you certain?As a side note:
