I understand the advantages of not drawing attention to the camera, from being able to catch more candid shots to safety from theft. The less attention the camera draws on itself the better. This brings me to the Sigma DP1 which I was interested in it for its diminutive size and its intriguing Fovean sensors that some say rival images of the M8 for a fraction of the price. I seriously doubt it, but it seems to be causing a stir. Further down the line in IQ would be the Leica dLux 3 which is also very interesting.
Check out Jim Radcliffe's Leica dlux3 and Sigma dp1 galleries: Leica D-Lux 3 Photography by Jim Radcliffe which just shows you that in the hands of a skilled photographer, anything is possible!
Enjoy!
