Thought I'd post up some pictures from my Lumix LX2 that I've been carrying everywhere since I got it about a month ago.
First some pictures in 16:9 -- I absolutely love this aspect ratio (although I find that vertical shots work better in 3:2/2:3).
Sorry for the picture flood btw., I'm greedy!
And a couple of shots in 3:2 as well:
My impressions of the LX2 after a month of using it are mostly positive; at first I found it a bit small and fiddly to use (I assume it was designed with petite japanese women in mind, and I am none of these), but have gotten around it by using the LCD to rest my thumb. Holding it like that makes it easy to use one handed, and I'm now able to handle it fairly quickly.
For ultimate stealth I put it in MF mode, focus at around 2-3 meters and carry it so that the lens sits between middle and forefinger, using the thumb for the shutter. I've yet to try this out properly, but so far the results have been interesting. One sneaky little trick I've just thought of is to hold it like that in my right hand, and then bring it up to my left wrist as if to look at my watch, pressing the shutter at the same time (heheh).
