I constantly have to check if I have not change it accidentally, otherwise I agree - the best p&s available today. The only complain I have about the D-Lux 4 is the mode dial – it is very soft.

It is a fully manual camera as well. Plus it doesn't have a bunch of knobby clunky junk sticking out everywhere. If you are getting this with an idea to take pictures indoors or at parties, weddings, and those sorts of things, the Canon really isn't as good. If you need a longer zoom, then the Canon is the way to go if you are ok with a higher percentage of bad indoor shots. On the bottom of my Leica it says Leica Camera Germany then made in japan. I compared this camera to every other serious point and shoot (panasonic version, Canon G10, Sigma, Ricoh, Nikon, etc...) and on May 1, 2009 it is the camera to get. By June maybe there'll be another The Leica performs better than the Canon G10 in everything but zoom. It is a fully manual camera as well.

Both cameras are japanese. The Leica is a Leica, just as a Ford made in South Africa is in fact a Ford. Some claim an extra coating on the lens. Either way, other than sample variation, there is little discernible difference in the image quality of either camera. Indeed. Both cameras are japanese.

However, a 1.6 crop sensor seems possible and would really be amazing. I doubt we get a FF leica or panasonic compact. However, a 1.6 crop sensor seems possible and would really be amazing.
