Leica is on the way of launching the V-Lux20 compact camera, claimed to be on of the most affordable models. The V-Lux20 is believed to be an upscale model of the Lumix ZS7 from Panasonic, featuring the same 12×, 25-300mm zoom. The camera would feature built-in GPS, a 12-megapixel sensor, high definition video recording and a preview LCD, three-inch sized.

It is not clear what would separate the V-Lux20 from the Panasonic model, but it seems this would be the body design and also the choice of lenses.

If rumours are true, the new camera will be ready very soon in April and will be available in stores on May 9th. The cost of the camera will be about 549 euros or $744, while the LumixZS7 is priced at 336 euros, the equivalent of $455.
