Looks rather like an R2!

The spec suggests serious engineering attention to image quality
issues. Be interesting to see how good that fairly long zoom turns out
to be, and how wide the probable wide angle extension lens will go.

Yes, it will be interesting to see the reviews, but the image quality from
a "1/2.3-inch" sensor is bound to be limited at best. And ISO 3200?
Leica/Panasonic have produced similar lenses in the past, so reasonable
quality /should/ be achievable. Who would have thought 4 aspheric
elements in a consumer lens a few years back?

Cheers,
