More new LX7 shots

I briefly had an LX7 back in August but ultimately returned it because at the full asking price I couldn't justify compared to some of the competitors with more capable sensors. But I loved the damn camera and, although I resisted the first time it came up for $299, the second time last week was the charm and I couldn't resist. So now its my compact, limited sensor and all. And after working with it, playing with it, I'm realizing just how flipping NICE this camera is as long as you keep it generally to about ISO 400, 800 in a real pinch. But with the fast lens, you can generally do a LOT within those limits. And just the joy of shooting with a camera with so many of its controls so easily and readily accessible only took me about five minutes to fall in love with again. I don't care how great the sensor in the RX100 is (and it IS great), that camera is just a pain in my butt when I actually try to shoot with it. The LX7 is a pure pleasure. So here are a few from a very short walk I took around my town this morning and the one street shot I've taken with it during this second round, a few days ago - they're nothing to write home about, but they sure were fun to shoot.
