Looks very interesting! Have the LX2 and dearly love it. Have never shot it above ISO 100. Do wonder if the LX3 is the same size of the 2 or bigger? The body layout is the same. Really like 16:9 aspect ratio and ability to shoot 3:2. New LX3 goes down to ISO80 vs 100 on LX2. Can't tell if zoom range is the same or not. They are giving 35 equiv. on Lx3 where the Lx2 lens says 6.3-25.2. No idea what the crop factor is on this sensor size.
The acc lens is interesting but it kind of kills the compactness of the camera. Still, very interesting camera.
thanks
