How's the LX7 compared to say a ELP1 and a X10?
I know it is not a really fair comparison per se.

Reason is the E-PL1 with kit is going for RM 1k on Lelong (not sure of street price). Add a manual fish eye, its around total not much more.

What I'm interested in is the focus speed & low light. E-PL1 focus is kind of slow. Is the LX7 much faster.

Previous experience FZ28 and Pentax K100D. The FZ28 hunts & really slow. The K100d faster but at low light levels, hunts as well
