Leica's V-Lux 1 is large, but if you can get past that, you can enjoy some of its nicer features. Given my frugal, proletarian upbringing, I know what I'd do, but you'll have to make that decision for yourself. The Lumix did perform slightly faster in our tests, but it also had slightly worse JPEG compression. So, if you don't count yourself among the family of photographers who find value in the classic Leica red-dot logo and the service and support that come with it, then you may want to look at the Panasonic version. As usual, the Leica version of this camera carries a significantly higher price tag, but it does come with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0, a $99 value.
While this last part may scare off some users, more seasoned shooters, who value image quality over small size, will appreciate what this camera has to offer. This superzoom sports a 12x optical, 35mm-to-420mm, f/2.8-to-f/3.7 zoom lens and a 10.1-megapixel CCD sensor and it has a body that's as big and heavy as an SLR's.
If you're going to relabel a product, the DMC-FZ50 is certainly a good choice. Among this year's batch is the Leica V-Lux 1, which corresponds to Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FZ50. Each year, Leica releases a handful of digital cameras with specs almost identical to a handful of models in Panasonic's line.
