I have the Canon 5D MK II. And the 6D. I find I've been using the 6D much more often: Lighter and High ISO (I am not a fan of the flash). I read in one of my photo magazine a review of the Leica V-LUX (114). Compact Full Frame 25-400 zoom. And light for traveling. The BrandName: Leica persuaded me to purchase it and try it out. The first few images seem excellent, It is quite a complicated piece of equipment and I have just begun to fathom it.
Any one worked with that camera?

I also have that camera and too, find it quite complicated. I seem to just set it on auto but have become frustrated with it. I would love to have some video tutorials with it. Let me know if you find something good.

Leica V-LUX is not full frame but has a 1" sensor. $1,188 at B&H.
The Panasonic FZ1000 is the same camera for a lot less.

From PC Magazine:
By Jim Fisher
"Make no mistake about it, the Leica V-Lux (Typ 114) ($1,350) is the same camera as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000$797.99 at Amazon, just with slightly different cosmetics and with a higher sticker price. The $450 increase for the Leica version doesn't just get you the company's famous red dot logo and the satisfaction of owning a Leica, however. You also get a longer three-year warranty, versus Panasonic's one-year coverage, and a license for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. If those are worth the extra money to you, rest assured that the V-Lux is just as good as a camera as the FZ1000. But we're rating it a half-star lower due to the higher asking price."

We both already have the camera, so the Panasonic is a moot point, although it may help someone else in their decision making.
