Sorry, Ashwin, didn't mean to hijack the thread. I, too, find the form and size not quite what I am looking for and I am a speed freak as well. But, I am interested in it nonetheless. The bad thing about living in The South is that there isn't a Leica dealer with products you can touch and feel within a day's drive of Atlanta.
I have, myself, a small kit with the X1/X2 body and a small zoom in the Leica Combination Bag but I don't think the Vario will quite fit...so maybe an LX7/D6 would do at some point in time. The problem with those little cameras is the aesthetics...they look awful and have no resemblance to my M3 or the X1. I am weird that way.
So, I am happy with my little kit and documentary work goes on.
