I know I went a little against the norm here, but I just sprung for the Lumix LX5 since I'm already bit familiar with the Leica DLUX4.

Can anyone point me to a good guide on shooting/processing RAW images? Should I even try shooting RAW since I've never had a camera that's capable?

Off brand batteries are cheap so go nuts! But li-ion batteries do lose charge in not time during cold weather. When i went skiing, the batteries were losing the charge while going up on the ski lift but magically became full once inside the lodge :smith:

Anyone here have any experience or thoughts on the new leica red dot point and shoots? Apparently, the lens is the same as the panasonic but the sensor is different? Or is it just a load of bs to upsell a red dot?

The Panasonic Lumix LX5 is the same as a Leica D-Lux 5. While they have slightly different bodies and software, the LX5 and D-Lux 5 are essentially identical.

One thing to keep in mind is the Leica will hold a better resale, so if you plan on getting rid of it in a couple years, there's that.
