CameraBeta here in China has published details of what it says is the specification of the promised Panasonic LX-200, successor to the current LX-100. While this could be just speculation, the details are extremely plausible. 

One look at the Fuji X-Pro, which can often be mistaken for a Leica M film camera (at a long-distance, very brief glance, admittedly), and I wonder why it is that Leica hasn't made a similarly pretty and traditional APS-C camera. This market should have been Leica's natural hunting ground.

Last week I met a photographer friend for lunch and a mooch around the West End in search of likely street shots. Not much doing on that front, but Steven happened to mention a bargain price on the recently discontinued Panasonic GX7. Now I coveted this particular camera, the one with the swivelling viewfinder, when it first came out back in 2013. I read many ecstatic reviews and I was sore tempted. Recently, quite by coincidence, several photographer mates have told me how much they enjoy this little camera. 

Mike wakes up to an offer he can't refuse....
