With the exception of Canon, Panasonic and Sony, all of the other camera makers - that is, Fuji, Nikon, Olympus, and Pentax - have all given up researching and producing advanced enthusiast models.

Yes, it is a shame that there was no XZ-3 ... the XZ-2 was / is still very nice.

But I have to tell you that if the G1X III rumor is real, I'll be in the front of the line to get one. And if they update the G3X with something faster and better, I'll be there also.

Yeah, I will be curious how it will compare to the LX100 (not just IQ-wise, but also handling) and what the LX200 will bring to the table. If Canon is quick with a housing and the autofocus betters the LX100, it will replace the latter for my underwater shooting. The only thing that might hamper that is probably a worse macro-modus than the LX100 and certainly the XZ-2.

Well, let's wait and see, interesting times ...

Regards
