:ROTFL: If course it is Robert - it's an indictment of both
There is a rather wonderful video of Jeff Ascough showing Don McCullin how to use a Canon 5D MkIII - it's the first time he has ever shot digital
Don McCulin with a Canon
If you haven't watched it, then you really should.
What's the point of this?
What I'm trying to get at, is that there are plenty of splendid photographers (at every level) who have simply not kept up with the technology. They may have kept up with their photography (as Don McCullin certainly has).
The X Vario really is a camera which you can just pick up and use - even if you hadn't used a digital camera before - to say that the specs don't match something like the Fuji is, of course, true - but specs a good photograph do not make. Good Photographers make Good Photographs, and there are plenty of people around who are Good Photographers (even if they aren't as good as Don McCulin) - but who really aren't interested in the Tech. But they're very unlikely to hang out here
That's who I think this camera is directed at - of course, it's a Leica, so they need to have some money - but then they'd need some money for the Fuji too.
