True, but not in the one im buying sadly - hence the cheaper price tag.
The lack of a Leica almost put me off, but several review sites convinced me that it was still a great value camera regardless.
For my needs it will do the job fine, its replacing a 2004 model Nikon 5600 which is becoming unbearable to use.
I also have 16gb class10 SD card on the way, at £17,99 from play.com it was too good to miss.
