found it at dpreview.com
major attractive points include:
28-504mm leica lens (that's 18x zoom, and 28mm wide angle)
3 fps burst at full resolution (until card full)
very long battery life
venus-III engine (hate it or love it?)
if it can deliver close to "noise-free + great detail" images at ISO400, it gonna be a winner. ;p
small compact wide angle zoom..
guess the next announcement will be the lx-3:kiss:
almost all new lumix cameras are 28mm on the wide end now...lx3 may get wider (24mm?) to differentiate the product and also compete with Ricoh GX100.
good thing panasonic didn't squeeze the sensor to become a 12 megapixel noise monster...:bsmilie:

I'd believe the 12MP sensor will be reserved for the next top of the line Lumix? (as long as they find a way to combat the noise that is)
The only thing that puts me off is the noise level even at low iso !!
Nevertheless, the 28mm wide is a useful feature.

Well I personally felt that making an issue out of the noise is like making a mountain out of a molehill... or something like that ;p
