I had the Panasonic FX07, which is the 7.1 megapixel version. Outdoors, it was generally quite good. Indoors was so horrible, I sold it to get a 35mm film rangefinder. Many of the Panasonics have Leica twins, with the differences mostly being in the image-processing software and included extras. The limiting factor, quality-wise in the point and shoots is the small sensor, not the lens.

Which Leica do you have, Joe? I'll bet with some post-processing you could get some terrific images out of it. Oftentimes the in-camera processing can yield a more pleasing image compared to a less processed one. But you can have more control by doing the processing yourself vs dealing with a JPEG that's already been permanently modified by the camera.
