Any truth to the rumors that Leica will soon come out with a small
(shirt-pocket size) digital camera?

Hmmm, depends on whether they survive their current financial troubles

Until they actually introduce a product, no.

And if they do, it'll still be a Panasonic dcam with a Sony sensor despite
the higher price.

Speaking of which, is the Panasonic digital camera with the Leica lens a
recommended product? Or is the format--lens, etc--too small to make a
significant difference in image quality? (To be honest, I'll probably be
using the small camera for snapshots and "convenience" shots, and leave the
potentially enlargeable shots for my digital slr.)

I would strongly recommend the Panasonic FZ20 to someone who wants a long
zoom, image-stabilised camera, but doesn't want the penalties associated
with the DSLR. Of course, the DSLR with its bigger sensor can potentially
produce better pictures under a wider range of conditions. Certainly the
image quality from the Leica lens exceeds that from many other cameras
with similar-sized sensors, but so does the quality from the best Nikon
and Canon lenses.

Why wouldn't it use a Panasonic CCD like all the other Panasonic digicams?

I fully agree. The lens is simply outstanding.
