Useful 27mm wide-angle zoom ; excellent image stabilization ; full selection of manual and automatic exposure controls ; 720p movie capture with operational zoom ; relatively fast ;

It's all about the lens and the Leica included is super sharp (turn up the sharpness), F2.8, non-distorted, focuses macro shots at 1cm, works with Extended optical, Ultra long focal lengths, unbelievable zoom range for better composition flexibility (fast...
