Although it's not aestheically pleasing, Leica has excellent optics.

However, it has a 12x optical zoom, good luck getting that on an m4/3 camera.]]>Apr 15th 2010 9:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/leica-v-lux-20-gets-leaked-with-almost-reasonable-price-tag/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/leica-v-lux-20-gets-leaked-with-almost-reasonable-price-tag/
The GH1 has a 10x zoom standard.

In fact, it is probably made by the same people that made this one, since they are all panasonic/LEICA anyway.]]>Apr 16th 2010 1:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/leica-v-lux-20-gets-leaked-with-almost-reasonable-price-tag/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/leica-v-lux-20-gets-leaked-with-almost-reasonable-price-tag/
Or sacrifice zoom and just get an LX3.

I'm still waiting on news of an LX4 or something like it.

Think very hard how much that red dot is worth to you before buying there.

Hell my Nokia 5800 has a Zeiss "lens".

I doubt they bare much resemblance to their real glass and hazard a guess that it is primary a marketing/money making tool.]]>Apr 16th 2010 7:12AM
