I'll take Panasonic over Leica anytime.

But thanks to Leica for the sweet lens used by Panasonic.

It's the software that's better on the Leica. The glass is the same on the two cameras but the Leica software is superior. Read the comparisons of other Leica/Panasonic cameras and you see there's a real difference.]]>Apr 20th 2010 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leica-v-lux-20-compact-with-12x-superzoom-is-brand-extortion/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leica-v-lux-20-compact-with-12x-superzoom-is-brand-extortion/Apr 20th 2010 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leica-v-lux-20-compact-with-12x-superzoom-is-brand-extortion/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leica-v-lux-20-compact-with-12x-superzoom-is-brand-extortion/Apr 20th 2010 7:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leica-v-lux-20-compact-with-12x-superzoom-is-brand-extortion/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leica-v-lux-20-compact-with-12x-superzoom-is-brand-extortion/As in: is the same glass quality used for the Panasonic and the Leica? Or is it just the same lens design with two different grades of glass?

Not that a small sensor would adequately capture the difference, I'm just curious...]]>Apr 20th 2010 7:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leica-v-lux-20-compact-with-12x-superzoom-is-brand-extortion/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leica-v-lux-20-compact-with-12x-superzoom-is-brand-extortion/it's the same glass used on the TZ10.

Just like what they did to the Dlux4 and LX3.

although there are some very small differences in the output if you compare it.

You're paying about $358 for that red dot prestige.
