Well, your Lumix is now the DMC-LX5 .. and the Leica is the D-LUX 5 in comparison. The LX5 = $500~ and the LUX5 = $800~. I think NOW its more comparable. They are practically the same camera, execpt you pay for a logo and a few extra features like dual dials. BUT the Pana is very nice for the price, and sure is small.
I love the video quality but the audio is really lacking...does the lumix allow and external mic? My guess would be no since its a camera, but i just thought I would ask.
Nice review. i have the lx3, its great. You say 3:2 is more square than 4:3. but its not, 4:3 is more squared. You can work it out by the ratios, or just look on the LCD. 4:3 cuts off the sides of the lcd, but 3:2 uses the whole thing. then 16:9 cuts a bit off top to make it wide.
Thanks for the review, Chris. I've been a fan of the Panasonic Lumix series for many years. Feature packed, simple to use, great value, and they just plain work well!

I especially like the wide angle lens as it allows me to take pics of my cock and get MOST of it in the frame.

It's a great cam, but no way comparable to a $4,000.00 cam.

@aist0n It's a mod! They added a Ricoh RC1 lens, google it.

I like that camera. The encoding can be a bit of a pain in the ass though.
