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.

It's a Leica lens. Is it still a mediochre lens?

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
