I know zilch abut photography but have become interested in doing some nature photography. A point&shoot lcd screen is useless outside on a sunny day. I've been researching for a new camera and the new, Leica V-Lux 4 might fit the bill for catching the quick brown fox, even at twilight. Before paying almost $1000 for a point&shoot, can anyone offer some advice?
It sounds like you've read some reviews, but here are some links.
A friend got a smaller (hardly less expensive) Leica when he got tired of carrying his DSLR equipment around. He was thrilled with the pictures that camera took - great zoom range, and it fit into his pocket. I don't remember what model it was. It might have been the V-Lux 40.
