Panasonic DMC-LX5K Support and Service Information - the successor to the LX3 is in the works - and the data looks very good. Hopefully, they have added a lock to the mode dial or designed the detents to be a bit firmer. The extended focal length range and the extra shutter button for filming are already good. The LX3 is currently my favorite always-with-me camera, despite the somewhat annoying mode dial that adjusts itself too easily.
