Does the Leica D2 have a fractional display as well as a decimal display? I like the fractional numbers (1/2") versus the fractional (.5")

It measures in metric, feet/inches as fractional, inches only with fractional, feet decimal.

Yes it does. You can choose your preference. I bought it after a lot of research. As a finish carpenter, I install a lot of trim. I need accuracy to a 1/32". It does it. I like being able measure all 4 walls from one corner using pethagrian theorem. Saves a lot of time when having to move a ladder around.

Provided you buy one from a USA dealer, yes it does. If you buy one from Korea or Japan, it is only metric values.

Yes, Sara, the image COULD be closer to what the sensor sees, but that would increase the cost of production, especially if high eyepoint and automatic parallax correction were included. Even the G9 and G10 have imperfect viewfinders, but despite their inaccuracy they're still useful in special circumstances like shooting rapidly moving subjects. Want "perfection"? Pay for a Leica -- but even Leicas are not perfect.

It isn't. The "equivalent" to the LX100 is the new D-Lux Type 109--the comparable model to the D-Lux 6 is the DMX-LX7.I say "equivalent" in quotes, because the equivalency is somewhat false--the Leicas have a superior build, better materials, a cleaner design, Leica Glass made in Germany (as opposed the Panasonic's Japanese glass with Leica "Specs"), and a copy of Lightroom. Thanks for looking!

good question--i own both of them and i've got to say the d-lux6 is the better camera. no idea why the 5 is more. after two full years of heavy use, my 5 started getting pretty buggy on me--i have not had any issues like that with the 6 (nor did i have them with the 4 that i used heavily for two years before the 5). ***i did just read that leica has discontinued the 6, to allegedly be replaced by a d-lux7 later in the fall. just FYI!***

Yes, there is a digital display. For readouts less than 100 fps, it has 2 decimal places, From 100.0 to 999.9 fps, one decimal place. 1000 fps or more, it shows only whole numbers. I am very satisfied with my Chrony.

I did a quick search on Google and it said the Leica M9 has a 2.5 inch LCD screen so this three inch would be too big. I believe they have these screens in different sizes.

Just got D- Lux5 used, from Leica blog it is considered better camera. Better pic quality etc. Considered a magic camera by some. Don't upgrade firmware to version 2. Many feel the version 1 is better. Google to read threads.

works great with my 40D, exposure count maxs at 999 on my display, by my math I can hold @ 2,000 images

Yes! Click the mode button a few times until you get to "distance" not "steps." It shows to the second decimal place.

I really cant speak about the 770 as I have and have only tried the 790. It's an absolutely fantastic camera. I love the large display, honestly the view finder is something i've never used in this digital age. I like you, kept kicking around the idea of getting the 770 and just thought the view finder took away from the sleek look that the 790 has. As for the click wheel I've used mine often enough from late August till now and havent had any problems with it becoming too loose. If anything I think its a little to stiff. I'm not sure if your familure with the ipod touch wheel but its the same concept, you just need to apply slightly more pressure. As for image quality the 790 takes stunning photos. Feel free to take a look at the customer images section. The first two pictures of a wormy bug and bee are mine (I also have a few others there) I think the colors came out true if not better than real life. All I used for those pictures was the digital macro and the best steady hand I could muster. I'm not a great photographer and in the eyes of a great one i'm probably not even good; but this camera lets me fake it. I have a pictures of actual water lillies (also on here) and was told it looks like a painting. This camera just seems to do all the right things on its own, even without going manual. When I was comparing cameras I came across the same image remarks you have. In the end I decided to go with the 790 over the 770 and haven't looked back one bit. I previously had a sony cybershot dsc-p200 and the 790 is above and beyond. I'm a true Canon fan now and would recomend the 790 to anyone.

I changed my EL-W516X to display decimals instead of fractions by changing it to Line View: Press 2ND F -> MATH (for SET UP) -> 2: EDITOR -> 1: LINE.

I bought a cheap one from Amazon. Not as smooth as a Nikon one, but not bad at all. About a quarter of the price.

both .12 and .2 ! if u want farther reach use the .12 but if u want accuracy then u use .2.,, i prefer using .2's

The Leica Disto D2 will provide distance readouts in ft./inches or meters. To change the setting simply hold down the units button for approx. 2-3 seconds. With each press the device will display different units of measurement. Simply scroll through the different options until you see the measurement display you want.

I would assume it's 1.25. All of the units shipped to America (or manufactured this year) are 1.25. So unless you get an old one, you should be fine. I bought one from Beach Camera and it says it was manufactured in February. Seems to do really well so far.

I shoot with 1d's which have the 1.3 Sensor, not sure if the Type 2's are for full frame or 1.6. You might try calling the Company directly and ask. I will say this, they work great...
