Digilux-2 out of the market?

By appearance, it might look like a RF camera to the unsuspecting eye, but the EVF is showing a straight output from the sensor, just like all the other P&S cameras out there. There is nothing special about how the digilux2's EVF behaves.

Which SLR has a 4x enlarged central focussing area?

Which SLR has a 4x enlarged central focussing area?

Whose eye has a built-in enlarger when viewing thru a RF window?

You must get what I'm saying.. Straight output from sensor = SLR's thru the lens view. If they simulate the RF patch on the LCD screen then I'll say youre right.

If it didn't use the sensor it would not be an EVF would you not agree. Just my point, not a RF, not a SLR. And yes- the central patch is the thing that gives it the RF like feel, but it is synthetic- not a RF.

It would be reasonable if it had an image circle that covers the full 35mm area, a lens that covers only a 2/3 sensor is much cheaper to develop and produce.
Also if I have a $1500 lens I can buy a new body and still use it, try using the Digilux-2 lens on anything else

You're absolutely right and that doesn't invalidate my argument. The more or less equivalent R-lens costs about 4000 Euro .

I'm pretty sure that

means that there is a new Leica/Panasonic camera around the corner.
