Panasonic LX7 back at $289.

I've just ordered an LX-7 for £248.99 from ProCameraShop. It will likely be a grey import and there is currently a delay on orders for a couple of days whilst they do some warehouse work, but other forum searches suggest they are generally reliable. I believe DigitalRev will ship one from Hong Kong for the same price. So fairly affordable if you don't mind a non-standard source.

how will I get her to strike a pose.....
