The Leica P&S cameras are pretty much rebadged Panasonics. As such, you pay a premium for the red dot.
Ricoh makes great compacts.
are you sure about X-1 being a rebadged Panasonics?
(regarding Leica D-Lux and V-Lux 20 you should be right…)nope, X1 is made in germany and it's 100% leica's design (AFAIK)
The sensor at least is made by Sony.

Yes, and the M8 and M9 use Kodak sensors. It would be impossible to such a small manufacturer to put out their own sensors.
X1 is indeed a real Leica, made in Germany. But still not worth the money, I think.

Understood.
What's that saying, if your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough?
When I said tele, suppose I should have said candid portrait.
Love the bokeh the 85/2 can make, love it with my kids, not too tight but don't have to be in their face. And the lens is very compact, not much bigger than a 50 Summicron.
The combo of an M + 35mm and SLR + 85mm handles everything. -
Amazing Leica back there!
