I have been using Lumix LX3 for almost 4 years and it has been a trusty companion due to it's size and also I have not seen anything that really is leaps & bounds ahead of the LX3. So far I think the Sony RX-100 is the only new camera that I find a worthy successor in terms of size & performance. The Canon S100, LX5 and even the LX7 have similar sensor sizes (the LX7 is also really big) and the m43 like EPM-1 and Lumix GF-5 are much bigger esp with the kit lens. RX-100 has everything I am looking for - pocketable, large sensor (relatively), HD video and a decent lens.
The Hong Kong retail price is HKD5,490 which is around RM2,250 at current exchange rate. The street price is of course much lower and I think the difference is big enough to risk the warranty, so I know where I will be buying my RX-100 from ;-)
