I see the successor to the Panasonic LX3 has been announced, the LX5. More details of which can be found on the main photo review sites (dpreview.com for example). The new features don’t seem to justify an upgrade for someone who already owns an LX3. What was particularly disappointing was the fact that the lens cap is still detached from the camera. I will be very interested in the successor to the Canon S90 if it arrives in the near future.

Paul, you may have seen they’ve announced the S95 last week.
Hi Henry,
No I didn’t see it. Thanks for letting me know. After reading a quick summary, that upgrade of the S95 also seems quite underwhelming. I did notice on some of the forums on dpreview.com that the EX1 from Samsung is also a good low-light camera, great for those nightlife photos. The really nice feature on that one seems to be the swivel screen, nice for those awkward shots.
