Delivery on time, no particular problem, although the strap is really too thin, and does not come with the additional enlargement leather piece seen on some other Websites.
A Classic for a Classic2009-01-07
The only drawbacks to this case are that, 1) it adds considerable bulk to the camera, and 2) it is expensive. These to me were buying objections. The way I dealt with the first one was by admitting that this is not exactly a pocket cam from the get-go. The protruding zoom lens makes it awkward to carry in anything but the bulkiest winter coat, and I live in the tropics. When it was delivered, I was pleased by the long leather shoulder strap that permits carrying as an independent item. When the price went down from $100 to abt $85, I got over Objection # 2. By then, I had been carrying the cam in a series of improvised cases for far too long. Overall, the case is robust and extremely pleasing, both to the eye and feel, in a retro-leather-classic kind of way that I find highly fitting to the Leica brand.
Retro look lacks modern protection2008-12-22
As soon as you try to close it up, you will see that this case is more about you posing with your camera than actually protecting it. When closed, the case halves do not even rest against each other, but leave a gap of about 5mm along two sides. I am guessing that if I am not willing to risk my lowly, but similarly bodied, Panasonic LX2, you are not going to feel comfortable trusting it with your Leica D-Lux 3. Leica would do better than to allow its name on something with such poor tolerances.

The case is good quality and good looking it is easy to get the camera in and out when wearing the case on my belt. The magnetic catch can be stronger.
Classic stylish look with good protective qualities too2008-10-21
As someone who judges a lot of things based on looks I can honestly say that I shelled out the money for this case just because I thought it looked cool. That being said, I have been pleasantly surprised by the protective function of the leather case too. It offers plenty of protection for me to throw the camera into the baby bag, but it looks so great that I don't mind wearing it around my neck. It's the sort of case that will make you feel more like a casual photographer and less of a tourist. Yes it was pricey, but the camera inside was too, so you might as well spend a little more to keep it safe.

Why You Should Use A Mini DV Camcorder
Introduction The mini DV camcorder has many advantages to offer its users. If you enjoy your digital video camera you will also enjoy this. The mini DV camcorder is easier to take with you than the regular sized cameras such as the hi definition camcorder, or the hi-Res camcorder. The size of this camcorder is one of its big advantages. The features this camcorder can offer are also great. Some cameras offer more features than others, so make sure that the camera has the features you want. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generally when design, performance and technological improvements are made on electronic products there is a reduction in size as well to make them more compact. For example the early day radios were built in large cabinets and required radio vacuum tubes. Eventually, transistor radios were constructed and were more portable. Today, a radio can be as small as a wristwatch. Camcorders have also evolved in tec ...
Audio & Video Connections Guide
" For a list of all the ways technology has failed to improve the quality of life, please press three." - Alice Kahn This quote is certainly applicable to consumer electronics. From the very first commercially produced radios to the latest in high-definition television technology, the manner in which the components used to deliver our news, music, movies and entertainment are interconnected seems to have escaped logic. For both the newcomer and the old hand alike, connecting equipment in the most efficient and effective manner can be a painful chore. It is hoped this article will improve your background knowledge concerning potential A/V system connection schemes and where each is most appropriate. The next time you find yourself in a "connectivity quandary" perhaps the ideas shared here will help you to quickly solve the riddle of which wire goes where and why!
