Jim,

I have had one for several months, except mine is the authentic version with
a Panasonic Lumix logo:

I have not used the video capture device, and the attractive features of the
DMC-FX01 are the 28mm (35mm equivalent) coverage and image stabilisation.

The Panasonic version is also a bargain at under US$300, whereas the
re-badged Leica version costs US$200 more.  Panasonic also offer four
different finishes, vs. two from Leica.
