The "Leica" lens label on the Panasonics is as
meaningless
as the "Zeiss" lens label is on the Sonys - it is
marketing
hype. Odd that the list above included no Sony cameras,
which tend to have the best image (and the least problem
with picking up motor noise in the audio) - I would
recommend looking at the Sony TRV33 when it arrives, or the
TRV25 now in this price range...
