Thanks all. Will keep a lookout for the D Lux 4. Thanks for the tip!
I have checked with Cathay, Alan Photo and a handful of shops in Funan. Cathay and Alan Photo do not keep the model anymore. I was offered a set for 1.3k (including leather case) at another shop in Funan which I thought was way too steep and didnt like the sales tactic ...
The D Lux 3, as I understand it, was retailing at $980 for camera and abt $199 for the leather case. I was also asked to consider the Panasonic LX 3, which apparently has the same features and look of the D Lux 3.
But no kick... might as well get the Leica and be done with it.
