2 Months later and your price still shows 64,90 €. At that price I will take a dozen please. ;-)

The price for this camera is incorrect. The affiliate link to Amazon.fr, for 64 Euros, is for a carry case -- not the camera itself, which is EUR 689: http://www.amazon.fr/Leica-D-LUX-4-Noir/dp/B001HZLWN6/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1308733843&sr=1-2

Essentially, the same specifications as the Panasonc ZS7 / ZS10. Although this didn't rate as high as the ZS7 (because of the higher price) the performance should be identical (stellar).
