Conclusion: Very Good Camera
Review: I really like this camera. It is lightweight and fits easily in a pocket or purse. The menus are intuitive, and the quality of the pictures taken is much better than anything I've seen from point-'n'-shoot cameras in the past. I even plugged it into my 42" television and projected the pictures I took in that format. I was amazed the even when blowing the image up to that size I still did not get any distoration or pixel loss.
The one problem I have had is that for some reason it quit working about a month after I got it. And that is why it only got 4-stars. The lens all of a sudden refused to retract when I turned the camera off. And when I turned it on, the message I got was to turn it off and turn it back on again. That process cycled over and over. The camera is in the shop now.

Conclusion: Leica C-LUX 2
Review: A very nice camera; very easy to use intuitive interface - you'll rarely if ever need to use the handbook. Choose this or the D-LUX-3 over the cheaper look alikes.
CLUX-2 has more pixels (7.2M vs 6M) is smaller in all dimensions, and lighter, but even so I preferred the C-LUX 1 - the interface was just easier to drive, and had a nicer feel to it. (examples: flash mode cycled through options, whereas the C2 requires you to go down a 2 layer menu; the rotary mode select wheel on the C2 doesn't have the end stops the C1 had - so you now have to look to check the mode you've selected).
They should have just changed the sensor and kept everything else the same as the C-LUX1 - it was perfect.

Conclusion: pretty good product... maybe a little overpriced
Review: It is Leica, and a excellent camera. I compared it with my old Canon camera. Definately it has more feature and control. Lens doesn't seem to be sharp as I expected. Probably a little sharper than Canon. Generally, I am happy but I still think it is a little overpriced.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Love this little camera
Review: I've just had this camera a mere few days, but I am enjoying it immensely! A great little device for the small purse or pocket, with satisfactory wide angle and telephoto capabilities; all contained in a package comparable to the size of my Motorola Razr!
Offering easy to employ features, this camera provides razor-sharp digital images and reprints follow suit. I was in awe at how spectacular finished enlargements appear, while maintaining their artistic integrity. The flash is more than satisfactory even in low-light environments.
All in all, a bit more pricey than most all other compact digital cameras, but a cut above the rest.

Conclusion: Little Leica
Review: An outstanding pocket size digital camera. Learning the setup is straight forward and logical. Photos print out nicely. All in all and excellent vest pocket digital camera.
