I could always spend more! But if the camera doesn't fit in my pocket then I may as well just stick with my D700. For the £425 I paid, the GR can't be beaten on usability or IQ I reckon, if you can live with a 28mm lens anyway, which I can.

The Nikon coolpix A is very similar and almost as good, but really not quite as good and more expensive.
Agreed, you need a coat for the LX100.
First outing in proper rain today since I got my Lencoat Raincoat and it certainly seems to do the trick 
The little sleeves left and right let me access the camera and lens zoom ring etc and also my my hands quite warm since they're sheltered from the elements.
I found that the wind was high enough to blow water droplets onto the front element so I pointed myself downwind. With my hood up on my jacket and that little flap of fabric at the back it's almost like one of those old skooly cameras with the black cloak. I can almost fit my head into the back of the Lenscoat lol

Gear waving about sensor cleaning.
All done for another year.

I did a spot of cleaning too today actually 
gave my tripod and head a shower to remove some of the salt and gave my lenses a wipe down and a bit of a front element clean.
It's a shame the kite surfers love the same conditions that end up spraying seawater at me on the beach

I've been looking at the G7x, it looks great. Mind sharing details of the offer in question?
It's here. They added the sd card to the bundle whilst others have now removed the case from the initial offer. So with the cashback offer it's a good deal.
Would you mind sending me one? I want one but am short a few pictures of the Queens head.

Is the auto focus as sluggish as they suggest?
Looks like a great deal but the apparently show AF puts me of recommending it.
Seems perfectly adequate to me with the play I've had. Go and try one.
Amazon flash deal, couldn't resist (the viewfinder came with my old GRDIII):
Feels good to be back with a GR, I kept putting off buying one since I already had a X-Pro 1 with an 18mm, but the Fuji can be frustratingly sluggish and laggy at times.
