For me the biggest news was the focus on noise. While everyone else was shooting up the megapixel scale to 12 and 14 million, Panasonic held at 10 and worked at improving the image quality. This was key for me. Add to this the great f2 lens which goes to 24mm and you have some great fundamentals but there's so much more! The things you can do with this camera are amazing. Drawbacks? Two that I can think of: 1) no viewfinder and 2) loose lens cap. Solution for that latter can be found at: http://ianho.blogspot.com/2008/11/ricoh-lc1-auto-lens-cap-on-leica-d-lux.html BTW, I have the same range of cameras: DSLR, Point-and-Shoot, and Underwater.
