I have the LX1 and love it. It took the LUG's famous son Aaron Sandler
to clue me in to the key with this type of camera though - it is just
a point and shoot and one should not expect it to perform like an slr
or an M - especially in the low-light situations. Once I took that
attitude with it I figured out how to have fun with it. The 16:9
format is excellent - just panorama enough for me.
