Leica V-Lux 20: Close up and personal

Looks like Leica has pulled it out of the bag with its latest compact. The V-Lux 20 has got a 12 x optical zoom and a 12.1mp sensor.

That means you can shoot a rabbit's chuff at 50 paces and blow the resulting image up to the size of your bedroom wall, if the urge takes you.

There's also HD recording for the filmmaker in you. I do hope they've addressed the quality conversion issue for media players, because that is nothing short of shocking, as my own videos prove.

Still, you get all this in a slick looking little block which is about the size of a packet of fags. What's more, they've added a handgrip.

Now where's that rabbit?
