"Great cam for nature photography"
Pros: Rock solid engineering; sharp optics; wide zoom range
Cons: Price (but who's counting?)
Summary: Leica has a long tradition of designing and building great camera lenses. While the review suggested that this superzoom could do better at the wide angle end of its range, that's not a a valid criticism. Building a zoom lens that maintains its focus through the zoom range, doesn't generate spherical distortion at its wide angle setting, and provides a good response in low light settings is extremely hard. Leica put together an ideal camera for nature photography, portrait photography or other work outdoors that calls for the flexibility of a zoom lens. The image stablization feature is just icing on the cake.
I have been a big fan of the red dot after using several other digital cameras and this one is no exception. The image quality is superb and it doesn't take much to learn how to cope with the idiosyncracies of the white balance adjustment (for which Panasonic may be responsible).
If you could only carry one camera, this is a fine one to take on the road.
