What is the difference between a Leica V-Lux 1 and the Panasonic DMC-FZ50?
I'm looking at DSLRs... and besides the name brand, ISO capabilities, and price... am not seeing a big difference between the two cameras?
As a serious amateur, which one should I get? Is the Leica worth almost $400 more? The flip-out screen feature is IMPORTANT to me, and I'm not seeing any other 10 megapixel cameras which have this feature.

as quickly as upon a time Leica became into an remarkable digicam business enterprise. Their lenses have been mythical and the cameras have been rugged. at present they have offered technologies from others and positioned their call on. This truthfully started approximately 1972 while Leica paid Minolta for use of the Minolta XE-7 (Leitz labored with Copal to layout the shutter for the XE-7/R-3) and known because it the Leica R-3. Minolta equipped the digicam with a Leica lens mount and metering device. Leica extensively utilized Minolta's 16mm f2.8 fisheye lens and Minolta's 35-70mm f3.5 and 70-210mm f4 consistent aperture zoom lenses. bypass to ebay and study expenses for the Minolta version vs. the Leica version of those lenses. shop your $500 for upload-ons and bypass with the DMC FZ50

I personally wouldn't agree that the Leica is worth more. I think the mark-up is due entirely to its name. The cameras do have different processing engines, and the Panasonic has done a little better on tests in the UK than the Leica.

The Panasonic is not a DSLR for one , also you do not want a DSLR if you want a flip out LCD . Most DSLRs only use the LCD for reviewing pics & setting , and have no live preview .
