1. Is Leica better than Carl Zeiss? Is a lens THAT important?
Lenses are pretty important in cameras. A good lens means that images are clear and sharp all the way through the photo (so now blurriness in the corners).
Also, you've probably seem purple fringing. If not, just google image 'purple fringing' and you'll see what I mean. A good lens has little to no purple fringing.
And whether Leica really is the best. Well, it is considered to be very, very good, and definitely better than Carl Zeiss.
Also, because the T100 is a 'folded lens' (meaning it is inside the camera), it doesn't do as well in terms of lens quality, because folding it inside has its compromises.
2. What about Sony's technology (Super Steady ShotŪ, Bionz(tm) processor, Clear Photo LCD PlusŪ, Face detection and other? Panasonic has similar technologies?
Alright, we have to know which camera you're comparing it to, but I'll assume the T100 for now. The T200 is quite expensive, compared to the T100 and the FX30. And the T20 is not something that I'd consider.
But Super Steady Shot is just a fancy name for optical image stabilisation. Panasonic has 'Mega Optical Image Stabilisation' or 'Mega OIS', which is actually superior to Sony's technology. So Panasonic is better in reducing camera shake.
Bionz processor is just again, a fancy term for the processor which processes the photos. Panasonic has a Venus Engine III, which is its own processor. Which one is better? Well it all depends, but we'll just say they are equal for now.
Face detection for Sony is really just for people who aren't that great at cameras and is a gimmicky feature if you do know how to focus a camera. It really isn't that necessary - I wouldn't buy a camera purely for Face Detection. Panasonic doesn't have it, but for anyone who knows how to focus (hold the shutter half way down, check for correct focus, then press all the way in) it isn't necessary. FD is not foolproof, and doesn't work if poeple aren't looking at the camera, has glasses or a hat on etc.
Overall, Sony 'technology' is not going to make a huge difference between the types of photos that you can capture with each camera.
3. Which one produces better pictures without editing?
Well, they both are similar. Have a look here:
http://www.flickr.com/cameras/panasonic/dmc-fx30/
and here
http://www.flickr.com/cameras/sony/dsc-t100/
Search something like 'beach' or 'outdoor' and just look at the photos.
I know you won't be that picky, so any minor differences in the photo quality is going to be minor.
4. Which one is better overall (from your point of view)?
The FX-30. Cheaper, wide angle, more powerful flash, and just a better camera IMO.
But you can't go too wrong with the T100 either. It does have a longer zoom (though not as wide), bigger LCD, and very stylish.
