EX1 in august 2012?

Hi all,

I have been wondering would the EX1 be right camera for me.

I have currently Olympus E-PM1 with Pana 20mm. It's little too big for me to have in my backpack everyday. And I don't like that it doesn't automatically rotate pictures (my every other digicamera has done it...)

Before that I had Canon S90 and before that Panasonic LX3....

I loved LX3and I had taken some really great shots with it. For that reason I'm thinking LX7. I'm also considering S100 for it's size (much smaller than LX7 or EX1).

However the prices here in Finland are following:

  • Preorder price for LX7 is 600€

  • S100 currently 400€

  • EX1 200€ (new one)

My requirements for the camera:

  • 24mm wide angle (all three)

  • Wide side should also be bright (EX1 / LX7)

  • Good handling (iso, aperture, shutter time should be easily adjusted) (LX7, S100 / EX1?)

  • Good image performance in normal light (all three)

  • Good lowlight performance (I don't like to use camera flash, LX7)

  • Small size (S100)

  • Exposure brackering (for HDR) (S100 is the best with CHDK i think)

Any ideas? Should I buy EX1 in 2012 (it's two year old model....)? Is EX1 how user friendly compared to LX7 or S100?
