Leica V-LUX 20 Digital Camera
Last year, my wife complained about how bulky and unwieldy our Canon Rebel DSLR was – she didn’t like carrying the camera bag and the size made it hard for her to throw it in the diaper bag and go. I scoffed, of course, believing that the Canon was the only route to digital happiness. Still, I bought her a Lumix pocket camera and the results have been bliss. The problem is that now I want to be able to throw a camera in my bag and forget about it until it is needed without sacrificing photo quality. I think I have finally found a compact camera that meets my needs – the Leica V-LUX 20. At 12.1, it’s got 20 percent more megapixels than my six year-old Canon, a 3” LCD screen (also bigger than my Canon) and is compact enough to have a permanent home in my bag where it waits for memories to happen. As the secondary memory officer in the family, I hope to capture lots of pics of our three kids, but as a writer, traveler and editor, I can see this thing working out pretty well for work too.
