Is LX7 noiser than FZ200?

I always look forward to your insight DM. Can't say I'd be unhappy with LX7 and/or FZ200 but on current price differentials the temptation of an extra stop (or two) is not strong enough.  It is theLX5/FZ150 combo for me.  Hopefully, the FZ250 will address sensor/in-camera processing and raise the bar a little higher.

I wonder if Panasonic already know the performance of the FZ250 or if the gestation period really is only just in time for next year.  Personally, I can't help but suspect they are already working on the FZ300  Stuart
