Leica has had a great influence on Panasonic's user interface. My "cheapo" Panasonic FZ7 is almost as easy to use as my M7 or M8 and much easier to use than most other P&S digitals. And the Leica-designed optics are very good for such an inexpensive camera. I think my answer to your question would be yes and no. Although I don't consider the Panasonic Leicas to be of the same pedigree as Ms or most R series cameras, they produce excellent results and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
