LX5 Owner getting Olympus XZ-1

I gut my teeth in digital photography with Olympus. Still have my Olympus C2040, which had an f/1.8 lense almost 10 years ago; and remote control. So i finally say, what took them so long to come out with this camera? I love my LX5/LX3, but this camera fills in so many gaps that Panasonic leaves. Being an astrophotography buff, the f/1.8 lens is a delight. But the real kicker is the Bulb mode, that extends exposure beyond 60 sec. Ergo, I'm gonna get one.
