Yet this isn’t like the girls you pick up in the clubs, the V-Lux 20 has some serious brains inside that gorgeous case: high-performance 12x Super-zoom Leica DC-Vario-Elmar lens with a focal range from 25 -300 mm, ergonomically-positioned controls, 12.1 effective megapixel sensor, 720p HD movie recording, and integrated GPS tagging functionality to go with all the regular standard features you expect.
