Maybe the Leica has a slightly different in-camera software like it was the case with the Digilux-2/Panasonic DMC-LC1 models. And of course the body is chrome instead of black. Then there's another Leica compact digital camera, with superzoom: http://mogool.com/transfer/leica_compact.jpg It is likely a sister model of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7. This would mean a 6 megapixel 1/2.5 " Type CCD sensor, a 36-432mm equiv. superzoom lens, F2.8 - 3.3, ISO 80-1600, manual mode as well as aperture and shutter priority AE modes possible. No informations about bokeh so far :-) Didier
