Leica Introduces V-Lux 3 Superzoom Camera

Leica has just announced the V-Lux 3 superzoom camera, 12.1-megapixel CMOS camera with 4.5-108mm F2.8-5.2 lens with 1080p60 video capture. Not surprisingly, this thing is actually a rebadged Panasonic DMC-FZ150 which lends truth the the old adage "A fool and his money are easily duped by camera companies."

While I love Leica’s traditional M-line, this move is such an egregious cash-grab that I would prefer not to comment on it further.
