Is the Leica C Type 112 the same as the Leica C Type 18485? Both come in "dark red"; I can't discern any difference.

Hello, They are the same. The camera comes in Gold and Dark Red. The catalog number of the Gold is 18485 and the Dark Red is 18489. The verbiage Type 112, is a fairly new numbering system Leica is using to differentiate between the older cameras which had similar names. For example the prior versions of this camera where C-Lux, C-Lux 2, etc. Regards, Roozbeh OC camera 949-347-1276

From the picture it looks identical to the BU-20 I got from Canon's eStore this month.To be fair, Canon doesn't seem to offer much info on this product either. I'll probably post a review once I've used it some more.

Sorry, I did not post any images so I wouldn't know how to tell one from the other in the images. If C is for color I know mine is in color and not monotone.

I second the TL500. I've owned the S90, LX3, and LX5. The LX3 & LX5 have color & WB issues (they don't even have a florescent WB setting). The S90 was great except for the previously mentioned blown highlights & 28mm. All these cameras look great on their own, but if you can compare them to a good DSLR and you'll see all their strengths and weaknesses. Good luck.

Leica v lux 30. Older model but should take the same quality photos. The 40 is amazing. I would think the 30 would be too except not as long a zoom

It is not easy to find a side with pictures to compare these cameras. I woud say, go into a shop and make some pictures with these two cameras and compare them. My camera is the d-lux 5. I made some pictures without any light, I mean, I saw nothing in the room. This extremly picture with the camera and tripod was ok. You can compare the deteils on the leica side, where you can download the pdf-s. Here are two links: The d-lux 6 has a nice depth of focus http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1177155/0 The pictures form the d-lux 5 are also well. https://www.flickr.com/photos/adowomac/5550269587/in/set-72157625657832783/ Compare the picture borders, but you will not see any differences. In my opinion, the d-lux 6 pictures are a bit shaper in depth of focus.

Did any of you read this review? http://www.digitalreview.ca/content/Nikon-D5000-D90-Compared-to-Canon-Rebel-T1i-500D.shtmlD5000 seems to be an easy pick. I am now tossing my coin between D90 and D5000.

Mine is exactly like the one pictured (red). I believe you can get them in a variety of colors though. It is worth it though. This is without a doubt the BEST camera I have EVER purchased!

That's the camera I used it in. For what I could tell the one I bought here was a Genuine Canon NB-5L. It shouldn't look different other than there may be some color variation. The shape should be exact.

There isn't really an "old" or "new" model. There is the standard K-3, which is this one, and there is the Prestige model. There is no functional difference between them. The Prestige model has blacked-out lettering of the Pentax name on the front of the camera.

Only Leica knows and I have never seen them publish it. Just like M type 240. It is an internal designation system. The new T type 701 will be coming out in April-May and no one that knows much about it can tell us what it means either.

I bought Leica, but normally I buy Hilti laser meter, this is my first leica after 10 years using Hilti, If I need laser meter I will go for Hilti or Leica. the rest not interested

Thanks Tech Guy. I see that it takes SDHC, and the video size limitation is fine by me. I'll have to see if I can get an a solid answer from Canon's tech support on if the 790 can take advantage of the faster in-camera processing Class 6 cards have (the upload to computer speed advantage doesn't mean much to me), and if it varies by brand. I also am wondering if I'll need to replace my current SD card reader if I do buy and use any of these higher capacity / faster SD cards.

D-Lux 6 is a CMOS sensor. CCD is much more lifelike, and more treasured among Leica crowd.

The newer version with the C is the contemporary line of lens, sigma also came out with a art line. Basically it's much better then all of sigma previous lenses and some of the art line can even beat Canon's L glass at a fraction of cost. Quality control is also better so less bad apples make it pass inspection. Just read the reviews, you can't go wrong with a lens from the contemporary or art line.

Yes, it is the same camera. I ordered one about a month ago. It arrived and I did not understand that the labeling was different from what I ordered. I called the store where it came from and they told me it was the same camera. I can describe the camera in 2 words. I LOVE IT. I'm on vacation and it is easy to use and takes great pictures.

Thanks for the info on a potential new Canon with autofocus, DigitalHecht. I'll hold off as well to see what comes available. No rush, although I intend to purchase my first SLR in the next few months. The video autofocus is a must for me.
