Where are the Leicas?

I'm a novice. Why are no Leica cameras listed and a search brings me to Panasonic?

No, I don't have to have a Leica. But I'm researching, trying to find the right camera on a budget, and while it may sound odd, the Cannon's haven't felt right in my hand. I have a $800 Fuji which I can't use because most everything blurs, so I don't want to go there again. I'm not a professional, but need to photograph my art which has a lot of detail that has to be captured.

It looks good, but since I'm taking photos that may have to translate into large, framable prints, does it have enough MP's? LOL I think I have run out of points - and I don't have enough knowledge to earn any.

the numbers of mega pixels is not the only factor in prints.
other factors are :
1.the quality of the lens .
2. the type of paper used.
3.. the sharpness of the original photo.
4. the type of printer used.
the lz3 produces pictures that are 2560 x1712 pixels in 3:2 mode which similar to normal 35mm film size
this will give you a 16in x 12 in print
if you need bigger try the lz7 or the new lz8
