Hands on: Leica V-LUX 20
Upon a recent visit to the offices of Leica’s PR company in NYC, I was able to play with the Leica V-LUX 20 for a little while. Not long ago, a small review was completed based upon the Panasonic ZS-7, the camera that it is based off of.

Leica V-LUX 20 Review Based on The Panasonic ZS-7
With the release of Leica’s new V-LUX 20 camera, it has quickly been deduced that it is really just a Panasonic ZS-7. Leica and Panasonic have a close relationship like this, as they have done previously with the LX-3 and the D-LUX 4 (the latter was reviewed here). The V-LUX 20, like the ZS-7 is aimed towards photography enthusiasts that tend to travel often and want to have a compact camera. Though I haven’t had time with the V-LUX 20 yet, one can expect that when reviews come out, they will be very similar to that of the ZS-7. That said, here’s a round-up of my ZS-7 field review postings and findings.
Leica To Make Their Camera Announcement Tomorrow Via Facebook
Leica is apparently embracing Facebook more and more these days as is evident from their former status. They announced today that their Facebook fans will be the first to know about the new camera that will come out. According to PhotoRumors, we are to be expecting the new camera tomorrow and it will be the V-LUX 20.
Is the Leica V-Lux 20 Imminent?
LeicaRumors has been reporting on the possible release of the V-LUX 20 for a little while now. According to Leica’s Facebook page, there is news to come next week. In addition there is also quite a bit of speculation as to what could be coming.
My bet is the V-LUX 20 for sure. Although keep in mind that Leica did recently confirm their joining of the Micro Four Thirds alliance and that there may have been possible hints dropped in my recent interview with them.
