It's Panasonic and they are nearly the same price.  I've seen the Panasonic 
advertised for $799 and the Leica for $899.  All of the features are the 
same except for the software included (Panasonic has something I've never 
heard of, Leica has Adobe Photoshop Elements), the size of the SD card that 
comes with it (Panasonic is 32 MB and Leica is 64 MB), and the outer shell 
is a different shape.  The differing features are enough to make up the 
difference in price.
