No Cotty, you had the right end of the stick. But it's a forked stick. :) > I assumed you were looking for something genuinely pocketable. My > definition of pocketable is the rear pocket on a pair of Levis. YMMV. I am looking for something pocketable, it's just that since I've been finding that my needs for the elusive perfect camera aren't being met, I'm expanding the search radius and considering alternatives. Pocketable for me is actually bigger than your Levis back pocket standard. A coat pocket, or a small fanny pack in the summer. > Finally, a quick shout out for another camera that will easily satisfy > your requirements - although (like the Leica) will not fit in a pair of > Levis with a lens attached) - the Olympus Pen F. Now this is a worthy beastie for consideration. Thank you! > My advice: buy an X20 for under 400 bucks as you mentioned.

Still the most likely outcome. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
