Some Leica news…

Leica just released the new Leica V-LUX 20. You pay $699.00 for the Leica version of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 ($335.34)
.
MicroFourThirds user will probably be more interested in knowing more about the new Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 (check out leicarumors). Does this mean the “older” Leica 35mm f/1.4 will become cheaper? It’s a Leica! Forget it!

Leica has far better quality control.
So you may expect Leica-branded ZS7 work slightly better or – at least – have much lower chances to ever visit a repair shop.

For ur information, Panasonic manufacture ALL Leica’s compact camera line.
and Panasonic has good quality control compare to other brands.
usually wat we’ll expect in the Leica version is a better coating on the lens, and better firmware settings. (same like the LX3 case)
