Leica Question

[dbphotos]

Here are a couple of images from earlier today. These were shot on the fully auto mode. I was in the bright sun at Hawaiian Falls with my kids so I thought I'd see how it handled colors, etc. in the bright sun. I am pretty pleased.

The first image is of my son under a brighy orange umbrella with the sun shining directly through it. I was concerned about how it would handle the orange cast but it did pretty good.

The 2nd image I shot at 28mm to test its wide angle and it did pretty good while at the same time keeping the colors pretty close. The people in the shot are a little dark but its a hard shot with such harsh lighting.

So far I'm pretty impressed with the camera, especially considering its <$300 price tag.
