Seen the light?

Doing some more research on cameras.
Still looking for the best value compact camera that gives me manual control and good picture quality and is small and with manual focus and a nice wide exposure compensation range and a hot-shoe.
Although nice, four thirds cameras look too cumbersome and I might as well use my DSLRs. So..

..it looks like the Lumix LX7 is going to do the trick.

Now I've just got to figure out where I'm going to buy one from.

Other good news, I've been told my new car arrives on Monday. Unfortunately that means I've got to clean the old one for the first time in 4 years.
