When you see a camera product that bears the name of Leica, you will have a high expectation on its picture quality and also its built quality. Well, this item has none of the Leica virtue in it at all. Its image quality, from its 2MP sensor although interpolated to 5MP, is far worse than any image can be produced even by cheapest mobile phone that has a 2MP camera or above. Its built quality is like a toy that you will find in a cereal box. Leica should be ashamed to even produce this camera in the first place.
