There was an announcement this morning about a new Matsushita camera made in
cooperation with Leica.
The Panasonic Lumix will be a 4 megapixel camera for $765 with a lower
priced 2 megapixel as well.
I would imagine they are employing Leica lenses to combat the Sony cameras
with Zeiss optics.
Anyone have any information on these new cameras or what they will look
like?
