4) Warranty is 2 yrs on the leica vs. 1 on the panny.
Yes, the body of the leica is metal, and the screen appears to be some sort of hard-wearing glass - thus not necessary to use a screen protector on it like you do on many other P&S camera (like my old canon elph).

Your #3 is not true. Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 works perfectly with my Windows Home Premium Edition.
I would also suggest to put a screen protector on the rear glass LCD element. The design of the camera is so that the glass LCD screen is the the thing that protudes most from the rear of the camera, so if you were to rest the camera on it's "back" (like most people do with a point and shoot), there is a risk of scratching or damaging the glass LCD screen.
