Yeah, that's true...
I have a Leica CL-1. Leica Vario-Elmar 38-105mm f/4-10.5 zoom.
I've taken a number of pictures with it. But the results are nothing like an old Leica!
Hah! My little ol' Optio S4 has essentially the same zoom range ~ 35-105mm ~ and has an aperture of 2.6 to 4.8...
f/10.5? Ridiculous!
On the other hand, we've not yet seen photos/images from that camera. We ought to wait a bit... Might surprise all of us!

It may well be an average lens. It is a 12X zoom, and these days, the Leica name doesn't necessarily mean it was manufactured b Leitz. Witness the P&S Leica digicams. Paul

all else being equal, an APS sensor is going to be quite a bit sharper at 5 Mp than a 10mm diagonal 5mp sensor unless both the lenses used are infintely sharp. and since this digicam has a 12x zoom that isnt very likely. My guess is at same noise levels the the APS image would look much sharper. there really isnt much point in having a itty bitty sensor over magnifying a tiny patch of a mediocre lens.... JCO
It's a Leica lens. Is it still a mediochre lens?
