As expected, Leica has lifted the lid on the V-LUX 20 snapper, which looks like the Panasonic ZS7, but with the much-salivated-over Leica appeal. It’s got a 12.1MP sensor with 12x zoom and GPS tagging, plus also shoots 720p video.
One of Leica’s more affordably beloved cameras, the D-Lux 3, was a point-and-shoot based on Panasonic’s LX-2 (which led to much angst amongst camera nerds.) Round two : Leica’s V-Lux20 looks like a riff on Panasonic’s ZS7, but hotter.
