The best camera is one that still works!
Nahh ... I'll wait for the Stupilux!
I've heard it's out of image rendering has to be seen to be believed.

That is deceptive too. Does not say equivalent to what. And it's not EQUIVALENT, it is still a 25mm lens.
Should have said approximately equivalent field of view (since the aspect ratio is 4:3) to a 50mm lens on a 35mm camera.
That is really shoddy journalism - worse than the stupid typo IMO>

If you look at the picture of the lens its not just a 'Summilux' but a 'D Summilux' so you can see where the problem comes from. Maybe the D stands for Dummy......
So why are Panasonic announcing this and not Leica? Is it not really a Leica lens?

Shoddy journalism is when you publish misleading stories that start a war (e.g., Spanish-American War). This is a minor linguistic imprecision that reflects common usage and, really, is easily adequate for the story in question.
Take a chill pill.

Actually, it's one of those content-appropriating farms that mess up Google searches because they simply regurgitate info that's found elsewhere. They always have a tiny link saying "read more" which takes you to the original source. They are a complete waste of time.

More of a typo than shoddy journalism. Shoddy editing, perhaps.

The Dummilux, which rather than a typo I think they were just calling it by what it should be known as, has been out for years. Maybe it was only available in regular 4/3 mount before but it is not new.

Wrong, it's a completely different lens with a completely different mount. Different optical formula, half the size, half the weight, half the price, and for m4/3 mount rather than 4/3 mount.
So to be exact, this is a brand new lens and was announced on Monday.
