Hi...
the Leica (not that I am pushing, or anything) is 28-102mm at 2816x2112. Pretty 
good size image
for a point and shoot. The lcd screen is spectacular. It's got a metal body, so 
if you drop it
(some of us do things like that...), the chances are better that it will 
survive the fall. It's
also got a different aspect ratio setting if you're shooting for display on a 
flat screen TV,
which is a cool feature, but something I rarely use. On a 1-gig card, 320 
images (more or less).
And, on a 1 gig card you can also capture about 10 minutes of video. I really, 
really like the
image stabilizer, though. For some reason, I seem to be ok hand-holding the 
1Ds, but have never
gotten the hang of using a point and shoot with good result (until now).

3 frames per second, and it of course does macro. ISO settings are 
80/100/200/400. the only
drawback I see is the battery pack issue.
