Who could go back to the LX3 or LX5 after they've used a GF1 or GH1 or EP1 or 2 with a 'real' sensor (half-frame I'll admit but capable in most hands of equaling or better the results from APS-C DSLRs) which is not much bigger than the LX cameras. I think the micro 4/3 bodies are about as close as one can get to an Leica M digital without the expense AND they can use M and R glass.
